Women's Bail Fund

Unless otherwise stated, all sources in
this memorandum have furnished reliable
information in the past.

On March 30, 1971, @ fist confidential source
furnished literature, concerning the Women's Bail Fund, which
was picked up at the Upper Westside Womens Center, 627
Amsterdam Avenue, New York, New York (NY) on March 27, 1971.
The literature captioned, "Women's Bail Fund" argued that the
Women's House of Detention, in New York City (NYC), should

not exist and that "the Women's House of Detention, along with the

prisons and jails across the country, is a weapon used by the
power structure here in America to oppress and exploit the people
of poor communities,” It further relates that "Women have come
together in New York from many different organizations to form a
Women's Bail Fund for all the sisters inside the House of
Deention. The Bail Fund is also working to prepare simple
pamphlets on law because of the total lack of any legal
resources in the House of Detention and secure legal assistance
where needed," The address is listed as the Women's Bail Fund,
P.O. Box 637, Cooper Station, NY, NY 10003.

On August 26, 1971, the first source furnished
literature on the Women's Bail Fund which stated, "The Women's
Bail Fund is a coalition of Third World and white women who are:

" ....raising bail to release women prisoners from
Rikers Island,

" ,.establishing communication with women inside.

".,..assisting women who are bailed out in meeting
their needs,

"...providing legal information for prisoners,

",...emaking public the torture these women undergo.
" ...-supporting prison struggles everywhere."

On April 12, 1971, & second confidential source
made available a flyer on the Women's Bail Fund which was
distributed at the National Womens March on the Pentagon on
April 10, 1971. The flyer, captioned, "Victory to the NLF and All
Oppressed Peoples" states "Women in Vietnam and in the United
States are fighting for the right to live: for the very right
to exist.....the U.S, is now dotted with concentration camps for
the poor and non-white: the jails.....But imprisonment doesnt!
break the spirit of the sisters in jail. They resist! When denied
their dignity, they organize and fight back. When one sister is
beaten they organiz and resist. In the coldest part of winter
when the boilers had broken down, the women worked in freezing
temperatures in cold water to do the laundry-not 'because the
pigs made us do it - but for our ‘own beautiful sisters.’ .....We
Vietnamese, Black, Latin, White and Asian-american women are
united in our struggle - we share common goals and face a common
enemy. We express our complete solidarity with the NLF and shall
work to bring the victory there."

On May 14, 1971, Special Agents (SAS) of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) observed a demonstration in front
of the NYC Women's House of Detention sponsored by the Woments
Ball Fund and Youth Against War and Fascism (YAWF). The
demonstrators chanted slogans calling for release of their
"sisters" from jail and expressed opposition to a proposed move
of the inmates of the Women's House of Detention from its
downtown site to the Rikers Island Prison Facility. The
demonstrators called this proposed move an attempt to isolate
the "sisters from their supporters."

By means of a loudspeaker, the demonstrators called to
several inmates of the House of Detention who appeared in the
upper storey windows, obtained their names and place of arrest,
This information allegedly was to be used to obtain bail for the
prisoners in question. Thereafter, several speakers denounced
the jails as concentration camps and called for the release of the
"nolitical prisoners,"in the House of Detention. Among the
speakers was Shirley/Taylor of the Women's Bail Fund and a
former inmate of thé Women's House of Detention.

days of "discussions, films, counseling and information services"
for inmates and their families. The coordinator for the Bail
Fund was identified as Pam Engle, telephone number 989-6717.

Women’s Bail Fund

; /
A first confidential source advised that Beverly Sterner,
Channel 13 News, 304 West 58th Street,. New York, New York,

is affiliated with the Women's Bail Fund (WBF).

An article appeared in the March, 1972 issue of
the “Liberated Guardian", captioned "Women's Bail Fund;
Organizing Our Anger", written by five unidentified members
of the Women's Bail Fund Collective.

The article relates "The Women's Bail Fund is a
group of about 35 women in New York City that bails women
out of jail (150 so far). They have been organized for over
a year and a half and did their first bailout on December 20,
1970. They have been active in supporting other groups
involved in the prison struggle. They do legal follow-up
for bailed-out sisters who want it and have been talking
with people about the prison struggle, why jails exist, who
the real enemies are, etcetera."

The article is introduced by the following
statement:

"For this article we wanted to talk about ourselves.
So five of us volunteered to collect different thoughts from
as many women as possible in our group and then pooled these
reflections in this article, using the words from their raps."

The article, being reflections of the various
members of the group, is a series of quotes by unidentified
members concerning the WBF.

Women's Bail Fund

The following are reflections of some WBF
members carried under the subcaption "Our Roots - Why
We Started - Why We Joined",

"There was a woman in my consciousness-raising
group who was in the bail fund when it was first getting
started and she talked with others about it. To some of
us it was a very exciting idea, To others it was
frightening ~ connecting to political activity as women.
Ultimately it ended in a split of my small group on
whether we should carry our newly raised consciousness
to any sort of feminist political action or not.

"In the past, I was politically frustrated because
I was only involved in one-shot actions. I saw what was
happening in terms of how this system functions to oppress
black people and that resulted inalot of pain for me. I
felt I had to reflect my stands in a day-to-day struggle.
I had the sense that the women in the WBF were also aware
of that need.

“When sisters want us to, we go to court with them,
When I go to court I find that it can do bad things to my
head, I make judgements like this jude is better than another
one, but it's all shit. All judges are pigs. Or like
feeling good that a sister got six months instead of five
years when she shouldn't have gotten anything at all.

"I was in the House of Detention when there was the
bail fund demonstration on December 20, 1970. The whole
tier was so excited. When someone saw the first people she
let out a scream and everyone rushed to the windows. As
the chanting increased outside we started to sing and chant.
They locked us in our cells so each person would be isolated
and intimidated about chanting. But all the women kept it
up. Everyone inside said the feeling about this demonstration
was different than other demonstrations. There had been more
contact, The women saw Afeni and Joan and another woman
that they had known inside outside in the demonstration.
That was real important,

"A lot of it was the bail fund. The bail fund
banner with the address made it real that people were serious
about supporting people inside. It wasn't going to be a
one~shot deal,

Women’s Bail Fund
The following are reflections carried under.the
sub-caption "Questions We Are Facing Right Now".

"There's a real dialectic between reform md
revolution. So much of what we do is short-term support
stuff that can be seen as reformist. When prisoners raise
these demands it's understood to be revolutionary; when
people on the outside raise them, they are felt to be
reformist. I have done a whole lot of courtroom work,
both in the bail fund and before too. In fact, the whole
social work thing is what I come out of, which is why it
is so hard for me to deal with all this (‘cause I obviously
reflect a lot of that work). Social work when it started
back in the late 1800's and early 1900's came out of real
radical cireles, the radicals and feminists and such. And
when you read MAO, he talks about service to the people
as a revolutionary thing. But for us it feels weird
because it has been co-opted. I think that the movement
now, trying to recoup the revolutionary aspects, that
original sense of service to the people, trying to help
people survive.

"One of the ways to really keep ourselves
out of the rut of being social workers is to engage in
more political education among ourselves and to ask other
groups how they've dealt with this question. Also we
should be more involved in educating other people.

"We should be doing more for women inside. We
need to really work on facilitating communications
between the sisters inside the jail. Women prisoners
have been slower to get organized but I'm sure this is
because there is so much isolation in the women's jail.
Concretely, we need to write more letters to find out what
is going on, send literature, but also tell the women. about
each other, about what other women are thinking and feeling.
This would stop the sense of isolation and increase the
sense of solidarity. ;

. "I think much of the movement is guilty of
ultra-leftism., In China the Communists worked on a lot
of things that were a lot less than what they ultimately
wanted. We're too afraid of being contaminated by being
involved in reform movements. We too often define our
enemies too broadly and our allies too narrowly.

"I've been real impressed with what women in the
group are willing to commit themselves to do and that they
fulfill those commitments. And that atmosphere of res~
ponsibility affects new members too. This is real
important. It helps me through the rough times and all
the ideological hassles and struggles we go through...

You really have a sense that everyone really wants to work
things through, search for solutions, wants to hold
together because we feel responsible for the work. Even
the way people ask for leaves of absence when they are
sick or too busy, that they feel they want to explain

why they have to stop doing work for a while, shows
people's commitment and responsibility."

._The "Liberated Guardian" was created in
April, 1970, through active and violent
dissent against the politics and policies

of the "Guardian", Its major aims were

to produce a "more revolutionary" paper,

to operate collectively within it and to
maintain by design a loose political position.

The “Guardian” is self-described as an
"independent radical newsweekly" which
takes a strong left position but is not
identified with any organized group. It
is considered to be the largest radical
weekly in America.

A second confidential source advised an account
for the WBF was opened on July 6, 1971, for $3,500. The
account was closed ten days later on July 16, 1971. This

were opened for the WBF on behalf of Trimble. One account
was a savings account in the amount of $2,000; the other

Constance Trimble was tried and found
not guilty on a charge of first degree
murder for making a telephone call
which lured a St. Paul, Minnesota
police officer to an ambush slaying
which occurred in 1970,

On April 5, 1972, and April 8, 1972, a fourth
confidential source advised Jennifer Dohrn and Judith
Clark were in contact with various members of the WBF
on these two days.

Judith Ann Clark is a member of the
Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) ~-
Weatherman faction and was underground

in 1970 prior to her arrest on December 17,
1970 by Special Agents (SAS) of the FBI
New York City, as a result of an outstanding
arrest wanted for unlawful flight to avoid
prosecution - mob action. Clark was
indicted by a Federal Grand Jury at
Chicago, Illinois in April, 1970, prior

to her arrest. She was sentenced to

three years, for which she spent nine
months in the Cook County Jail, Chicago,
Illinois, and was released in July, 1971,
to serve the remaining time on probation
in New York City.

Jennifer Ellen Dohrn is the sister of
FBI Top Ten Fugitive Bernadine Rae Dohrn.
Both sisters are alleged members of

the SDS - Weatherman faction.

SDS was founded during June, 1962, at

Port Huron, Michigan, and in the 1960's
functioned as the leading New Left campus-
based student organization in the United
States. From a stance of “participatory
democracy,'' the SDS moved to a radical-
revolutionary position. It maintained a
national office at 1608 West Madison Street,

the Wednesday night meeting of the WBF. Clark discussed
the fact that Jeannie LNU, Estelle LNU and Laurie LNU
would be at the meeting at 5:30 PM, that evening at Clark's
residence. The source related that Sara LNU and Naomi LNU,
both from the Defense Bail Fund, were also expected at
the meeting. Clark discussed the fact that the WBF
has no common politics and no common political direction
at this point and the WBF could become a defense committee,
not because it would be desireable, but because of a lack
of any other direction.

On 11/28/72, INfoRMaNT .dvised the Women's Bail Fund ,
(WBF) is not a leading element and lacks any influence in the
movement in New York City. .

ea

A review of the subject file discloses there is no
structure to the WBF and that it is a coalition of women who
belong to various groups in the New York City area, whose main
purpose is to raise funds for selected women in jail.

It iS noted that Weatherman subjects have contacted
those invoived in the bail fund. However, have decryed the
lack of political direction of the WBF and would like to turn
it into a defense committee because of a lack of any’ other
direction. There is no indication,that this hag occurred, and
the bail fund still remains a loose coalition or lixe-minded
individuals frem various groups seeing to reise Vends for
various purposes. Because of: its lack of common political dir- °° “.
ection, it has had no influence and presently is ineffective in
the movement.

Re: Vincent Hallinan

Vincent Hallinan was candidate for President
of the United States on the Independent Progressive Party
ticket in 1952. This party was formed in California in 1948
and ceased to exist in 1964, when it failed to poll sufficient
votes to remain on a California ballot. The California
Senate Fact-Finding Committee on Un-American Activities in
its 1955 report on page forty-six, states in part that the
Independent Progressive Party in California was quickly
captured by the communists and soon was being operated lock,
stock and’ barrel by the Communist Party of California.

A source advised on April 20, 1966, that Vincent
Hallinan was the Treasurer for American Institue For Marxist
Studies (AIMS).

A characterization of AIMS
is contained in the appendix.

According to the source, it is the aim and
objective of Vivian Hallinan when she goes to Washington,
D.C., in conjunction with the kankin Brigade to get herself

less is to ignore our special responsibilities to
the human race,

be killed in Vietnam, If we had 10,000 women

Jeannette Rankin made the above statement in
May of this year. Fifty years ago, as the first
woman elected to Congress, she voted against
World War I. She has consistently maintained
her struggle for peace, and at 86 she is as coura-
geous and vigorous as ever--an inspiration to all
women, .

The presence of the United States forces in the int

‘ernal struggle of Vietnam is immoral and illegal.
There can be no possible justification for our inte
ference in the domestic affairs of this tiny distant
land,

This 86-year-old woman has stated that she is wil
ing to stay in jail until the bombing is stopped. N
all women are free to join her, but we can assure

3 Party, United States of America (CPUSA), of New England, held

be put out quarterly with various supplements.

HERBERT APTHEKER was elected to the National Committee,
CPUSA, at the 18th National Convention of the CPUSA, held
June 22-26, 1966, in New York City.

that AIMS would unite and strengthen the CP although the CP
would not be connected with it. He stated AIMS was being
formed to operate within the scope of the McCarran and Smith
Acts and would legally bring Marxist material and opinions

BRIGADE FORMED TO CONFRONT CONGRESS

Helena, Montana
November 27, 1967

To all American Women:

I am proud of the fact that my first
vote cast in Congress was a vote
against war. It was the first oppor-
unity for a woman to vote, because I
was the first woman to be elected to
Congress.

I believed then, as I do today,
that women are the ones that must be
concerned with the needs and develop-
ment of the human race. [I have always
fought for the dignity of all human
beings ~- for those of the present as
well as those of future generations.

I will continue to struggle as long
as IT live. I hope all women will res-
pond to the following call and join me
in Washington on January 8, 1968, the
opening day of Congress.

Jeannette Rankin

A CALL TO ALL AMERTCAN WOMEN who
are outraged by the ruthless slaughter
in Vietnam and the persistent neglect
of human needs at home TO COME TO
WASHINGTON ON JANUARY 8

AMERICAN WOMEN represent 51% of the
voting population of our country.
AMERICAN WOMEN have the power to a-~
chieve peace and a decent life for
every American. This is woman power!

4

Demonstrate it to the Congress of the
United States! Come to Washington on
January 8 as Congress opens in joint
session. Support Jeannette Rankin as
she leads a representative delegation
of American women to the Capitol to
demand that:
*Congress, as its first order
of business, resolve to end
the war in Vietnam and immedi-~
ately arrange for the with-
drawal of all American troops.
*Congress use its power to make
reparations for the ravaged land
we leave behind in Vietnam.
“Congress Listen to what the
American people are saying and
refuse the insatiable demands of
the military-industrial complex.

WOMEN OF AMERICA, our power is un-
limited. On January 8, American women
will:

*PETITION the United States Con-
gress - . .
*CONVENE a Congress of American
Women that afternoon to develop
programs to meet the crisis in
America - programs which will
express our political power,
reason and conscience.

For further information about the
Brigade, contact your nearest WSP
group or write to the Jeannette*Rankin

Brigade, 135 W. es 1oozs.

Hollywood, her dues being paid through May 1, 1968.

According to Source One, the Southern California

Couneil of WSP is presently coordinating local activity to
form a contingent of -the JRB from Southern Celifornia. They

| are making office space and telephones in their Los Angeles

headquarters, 5899 West Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles available
for this purpose. Spearheading the local committee are

\ Mary Clarke and Eva Korn, both of whom are active in WSP.

\ Mary Clarke is currently a member of the JRB's National Steer-
ing Committee.

Source Three reported during November 1947, that
Eva Korn was a memper of the Los Angeles County
Communist Party (ASCCP) during the years 1046
and 1947.

To give publicity to the proposed activity of the
JRB, the local WSP office is circulating a reprint from the
"San Francisco Chronicle", issue of Saturday, May 20, 1967,
page nine, -which contained a feature article regarding the
opposition to wars by former Congresswoman Jeannette Rankin,
for whom the JRB has been named. (A xerox copy of the reprint

Sunderland also suggested that a good way to recruit
women to join the Brigade would b © make a pitch, for
recruits when Mary Clarke, Dagnanffiison and Ruth/Krause
are making their respective speakiyig engagements across the
United States since their return from a trip to North Vietnam,
which they visited as. representatives of WSP during the i.
fall of 1967. . —

Source Four advised during the summer of 1965
that June Sunderland, 3730 Hollister Avenue,
Santa Barbara, California, had attended a 1967
"peace conference" in Helsinki, Finland, at the
invitation of the Communist Party (CP), and that
funds to cover her expenses were raised in part
by the CP; and that following her attendance at
the Helsinki affair she went on to Russia for ten
days at the invitation and expense of the Soviet
Government, :

Source One learned that a communication was re-
eeived from eastern sponsors of the JRB on December 7, 1967,
indicating that the JRB march on Washington might not be
held on January 8, 1968, but possibly would be set back until
either the 15th or 22nd of January 1968, depending upon
the date that the United States Congress would reconvene.
The communication indicated thet since the entire purpose
of the Brigade would be to confront the opening joint session
of Congress that it would be futile to schedule the march
prior to the date Congress would reconvene, The suggestion
was made that recruitment of local women to participate in
the SRB be held in abeyance until a confirmation had been
obtained indicating the date on which Congress would reconvene.

a SEATTLE WOMEN ACT FOR PEACE (SWAP)

A source reported on May 17, 1962, a meeting of the
Ballard-Greenwood CP Club was held in Seattle, April 25, 1962, ..
at which TAIMI HALONEN was nominated to be the new Chairman of
this Club. Along with other business of the evening, HALONEN
said she expected to devote a good portion of her time to SWAP;
an organization of peace forces that met recently with seven.
members. She said four of the seven were from the "left" but
did not go into detail. She said the group had problems of an
organizational nature because it was new, and she thought she
could help. . ‘

On April 5, 1963, a second source stated a meeting of
the University CP Club was held at Seattle on April 2, 1963.
KEN ROSE, a member of the Club, reported the most influential
peace organization in Seattle was SWAP. .

On July 31, 1964, a meeting of the North Central cP
Section Committee was held at Seattle. WILL PARRY, Section
Chairman, said attention should be placed on three political
questions - peace, civil rights, and labor. Under peace, he
said CP clubs should inject the Women Act for Peace campaign
into the election campaign. At another Section meeting,
February 5, 1966, TAIMI HALONEN was praised for effective
peace work and for her help in developing unity among the peace vo.
forces. Section-wide concentration was urged in assisting.
SWAP to visit 1,000 workers on the Vietnam issue, _ .

A third source advised on February ey, 1966; a
Northwest District CP Committee meeting was held at Seattle
Fepruary 12, 1966. After lunch, the entire group participated
in passing out leaflets pertaining to racial matters and the
Vietnam war which carried the name.of SWAP, 5411 Ravenna Avenue
Northeast, Seattle, Washington. 98105, which address has been
used consistently by SWAP and: is that of ANCI KOPPEL, also known
as Mrs. CHARLES KOPPEL. KOPPEL has been and continues to be
the coordinator and apparent prime motivating force of SWAP
as of May, 1967.

A fourth source reported in 1945
ANCI KOPPEL was a member of the
Professional Group of the Communist
Political Association (CPA), also
known as the Rogers CP Club at
Seattle, Washington.

__W.E.B. DU BOIS CLUBS OF AMERICA (DCA) _

A source advised that on October 26-27, 1953, a con-
ference of members of the Communist Party, USA (CPUSA), including
national functionaries, met in Chicage » Tllinois, for the purpose
of setting in motion forces for the establishment of anew national
Marxist -oriented youth organization which would Runt for the most
peaceful transition to socialism. The delegates were told that it
would be reasonable to assume that the young socialists attracted
into this new organization would eventually pass into the CP

itself.

A second source has advised that the founding convention

Approximately 500 delegates from throughout the United States
attended this convention.

The second source advised in September, 1966, that MIKE
ZAGARELL, CPUSA Youth Director, stated that in Negro communities
the Party still supported the plan to build "left" socialist
centers and to solidify the Party base through «ne DCA. This
scurce also advised in Sept oeber » 1966 that DAN SL RUBIN, CPUSA
National Organizational Secretary, stated the Party believes
the DCA should have a working-class outlook and be a mass organiz-
ation favorable to socialism, socialist countries: and Marxism,
and in April, 1967, advised GUS HALL, CPUSA General Sécretary,
had indicated the DCA primary emphasis should be on developing
mass resistance to the draft.

A third: source advised in September, 1967, that JARVIS
TYNER was elected chairman of the DCA on September "lo, 1967, at
the Third National Convention of the DCA held in New York, New

York, from September 8+10, 1967.

A fourth source advised during August, 1967, that JARVIS
TYNER is a member of the National Committee of the CPUSA,

‘A fifth source advised on ‘September 21, 1967, that the
headquarters of the DCA is located at 34 West l?th Street, New

York, New York.

‘ WOMEN FOR PEACE aka eu

Women Strike for Peace ne

The "Berkeley Daily Gazette," a daily newspaper of
| general circulation published in Berkeley, California,
contained an article in the November 19, 1965,evening
f edition reflecting that in November, 1961, when con-
cern mounted over radioactive fallout from nuclear
testing, a group of women in Washington, D. C. started
Women Strike for Peace. The idea spread rapidly through-
out the country and now embraces 900 groups, including
Yomen For .Peace groups in the San Francisco Bay area.

These groups support programs to achieve goals stich as:
(1) Continued disarmament negotiations.
(2) <A strong and flexible United Nations.

(3) Planning now at state and national levels for
conversion to peace-time economy and positive
efforts to ease world tensions.

The women act as individuals and as a group, with specific
actions suggested by individuals and groups from all over
the world. Decision to participate jointly on any given
suggestion is democratly arrived at by members of the Co-
ordinating Committee. Effective cooperation with other
peace groups is encouraged. Monthly Coordinating Comnittee
meetings and general meetings, as warcanted, are open to
all and anneunced in mailings to memsers. There are no
dues or membership forms nor conditions for membership.

To stir an awareness of the need for peace, Women For
Peace encourage public education in peace objectives at
local schools and sponsor peace-oriented demonstrations
and public meetings, newspaper ads, billboards, and
eandicates for public office. On the national level
the grcup attempts to influence government officials

by letters and conferences.

HALLINAN originally had wanted WLLLIAMS to be at

in Washington, D. C., on Veterans Day, 11/11/67, along with
mothers, sisters, and widows of men killed in Vietnam,
HALLINAN desired WILLIAMS to furnish her with the names of
| mothers and wives of men killed in Vietnam who felt their
loved ones should not have been there at.all,

Since Mrs, WILLIAMS did not return until after

| 11/11/67, she did not know of the event, and therefore, did
not participate, Additionally, she did not get around to
reading all her mail until much after she returned to

WITHOUT WOMEN

+e

Women met use their minds, their voices, and
their bodies to step the killing in Vietnam; to do
less is tc ignore our special responsibilities to
the humen race.

"10,000 women have sat back and let theit sons
be killed in Vietnam. If we had 10,000 women will-
ing to go to jeil if necessary we could step the war
in Vietnam. You cannot have wats without rorén."

Jeannette Rankin made the above statement in
May of this year. Fifty years aco, as the first
woman elected to Congress, she voted agsinst Votld «+
Wer I. She has consisten vbly maintained her strug—
gle for peace, and et ‘86 she is as courageous and
vigorous as eveT -- an inspitation to all women.

The ptesence of the United States forces in
the internal sttuggle of Vietnam is immoral and
illegal. There can be no possible Justification
for our interference in the domestic ait faits of
this tiny distent lend. :

This 86-yeer-old woman has stated that she
is willing to stay in jail until the bombing is
stopped. Not all women ere Sree to join her, but
we can aecure her that thousande of women will
march peacefully beside her. Some will picket,
cthets will go to jail until bail is atranged,
and others will etay in jeil with Miss Renkin
Every woman's patticipation is ecually valuable.
Ve ate confident each one will do the maximum of

which she ie capable. 2
On January 8th, women from all over the land e
will convetge on Washington to demand the end of A}.
- this dishonorable war. %e shall come as individ— ve
uals, or as organizations, but ‘we shall join to- 3
gether as concerned viomen under the aegis of cS)

Jeannette Rankin, . é

Will you join us to eave the men you lcve *
from death, and the country you love from shame?

Dear Friend:

We are sending this letter to you and others from whom we have nob heard much
recently, in the hope of re-enlisting your efforts in the Women for Peace

movement, It has been too long since we last heard directly from many of you,
and our meetings with those of you whom we have seen recently have been brief,

Of course, we know the paralyzing sense of frustration we all feel occasionally,
as we learn of the mounting horrors in Vietnam. But this feeling is only
temporary, and quickly gives way to activity. As women, we bear the major
responsibility for the preservation of life, and thus a major responsibility

in the peace movement,

mnclosed you will find an announcement of the latest national women's effort
for peace, Several peace groups in Portland are cooperating in raising funds
to send representatives to Washington. We hope that you will also support this
effort, to insure représentaticn from Portland Women for Peace, The coupon
on the enclosed notice is for your use in this effort,

In addition, we will have a supportive peaceful demonstration
in Portland at

Dear Friend:

We are sending this letter to you and olhers from whom we have not heard much
recently, in the hope of re-enlisting your efforts in the Women for Peace ,

movement, It has been too long since we last heard directly from many of you,
and our meetings with those of you whom we have seen recently have been brief,

Of course, we know the paralyzing sense of frustration we all feel occasionally,
as we learn of the mounting horrors in Vietnam, But this feeling is only
temporary, and quickly gives way to activity. As women, we bear the major
responsibility for the preservation of life, and thus a major responsibility

in the peace movement,

Enclosed you will find an announcement of the latest national women's effort
for peace, Several peace groups in Portland are cooperating in raising funds
to send representatives to Washington. We hope that you will also support this
effort, to insure representaticn from Portland Women for Peace, The coupon
on the enclosed notice is for your use in this effort,

i

In addition, we will have a supportive peaceful demonstration
in Portland at

NOON, Monday, JANUARY 15th

Pioneer Post Office

45th and Morrison
We are asking participants to wear black, and to bring a black
(cr dark colored) umbrella, We shall carry the umbrellas opened,
rain or shine, Placards (to wear) and leaflets (to distribute),
expressing support for the Jeannette Rankin Brigade, will be
available, We shall march around the Post Office block for one hour,
from noon to 1 p.m., leafleting as we walk,

Wwe hope, if you cannot go to Washington, yourself, that you will contribute to
help someone else to go, and that you will also join with us at the Pioneer
Post Office at noon Monday, January 15th.

In addition, please let us hear from you on your ideas of what more we might
do locally, We have some ideas too, which we hope to share with you, and on
yhich.we shall need much help.

Flease get in touch with one of us soon, Your help, ideas, and efforts are
urgently needed,

! Yours for Peace,

SAN FRANCISCO —- When
Congress reconvencs in Jan-
j uary, the opening session will
{be met with the demand that
its first order of business must
be ending the Vietnam war
amd the withdrawal of Ameri-
ean troops from Southeast Asia.
"This demand wil be pres-
ented by woman power, organ-
iz into the Jeanette Rankin
Brigade.

The women plan to convene
a Congress of American Women
‘to develop programs “dedicated
. to reshaping American socicty
‘and restoring ow country to
the community of nations.”

Besides demanding that the
legislators act to end the war,
the women will demand that

¥ an appeal by Jeanette Ran-
van, 86, the nation's first woman

in Congress, elected in 1917.
_ “HE we had 10,000 women will-

she said in May, “that would

“Taos is no time to be po-
hte,” Miss Rankin said. “The
army isn't polite when it se
hets a young man and says
‘come and fight’, But they doen't
take the politicians and deci-

vias makers to fight.”

Miss Rankin's militant oppo-

taken up by about 75 prominent

One facet of the Congress of

“Many of us feel we should

in order to do this, all the organizations comprising the
JRB will have to pledge money to get the women to Washington, D.C.
and back to Los Angeles, California.

Source one stated that three committess have been
established within the JRB. One of these committees has
been established to draw up a list of redress of grievances.
Each branch of the JRB throughout the nation will, when

incorporated into a petition to be presented to Congress.
The second committee will be to involve the people in the

and other women making the trip will pay all their own
expenses, No expenses are contemplated while the women are

in Washington, D.C, inasmuch as arrangements have been made
for the women to stay with other WSP members in the
Washington, D.C. area. Source one advised that it is
contemplated all the women will stay in Washington, D.C. until
Tuesday, January 16, 1967. ;

Source one advised it was reported the women from
across the nation would gather at the Union Depot, Washington, D.C,
at 11:30 A.M, on January 15, 1968. Source one further reported
it is hoped ten thousand women will participate in the
demonstration. After the gathering at Union Depot, the women
will march in solemn procession, all wearing black, to the
steps of the capitol building where the petition containing
the redress of grievances will be presented to the Congress.
Source one further advised it had been reported that Representative
Mc Cormick and Senator Mansfield had agreed to receive the
petition. Representative Mc Cormick, according to source one,
had agreed to accept fifteen women in his office at which time
he would receive the petition, but source one advised the
JRB now wants Repgesentative Mc Cormick and Senator Mansfield
to accept the petition on the steps of the capitol building
in order that they might get news coverage. After the petition
has been presented, the JRB wants the redress of grievances
read into the Congressional Record.

Further activities of the JRB while in Washington, D.C,
are to includé a three hour "Women's Congress", possibly on the
grounds of Georgetown University.

Mary Clarke pointed out that although the original
intention had been to have only those women participate
in the JRB who were willing to risk arrest for civil disobedience,
she stated at the above meeting that no civil discbedience is
anticipated in view of the large number of organizations
participating who are opposed to such civil disobedience.
However, she further stated that individuals are not going to
be discouraged who might elect to create civil disobedience.

FIRST UNITARTAN CHURCH OF LOS ANGELES

A source advised on May 22, 1967, that the
premises of the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, 2936
West 8th Street, Los Angeles, California, have been utilized
for meetings by Communist Party members and sympathizers over
a period of years, Speakers and lecturers at.the church
frequently espouse Communist causes or follow the Communist
Party line. Gommunist front group literature is distributed
at the church. The church is used by some Communist, Party
members for "mass concentration" work. 7

This same infiltration extends to adjuncts of
the church such as the Unitarian Public Forum and the Fellow-
ship for Social Justice, formerly known as the Unitarian-
Universalist Fellowship for Social Justice.

STEPHEN H. FRITCHMAN has been minister of the
church since 1948,

Reverend STEPHEN H. FRITCHMAN is described in
the Fourth Report, Un-American Activities Committee in
California, 1948, page 115, as a very active "Communist
fronter" and connected with numerous “Communist front organi-
zations and activities."

Membership in the First Unitarian Church does not,

of itself, connote membership in or sympathy with the Communist
Party.

IN VIEINAM,
WASHINGTON, D. C,
JANUARY 15, 1968

A confidential source, who has furnished reliable
information in the past, advised on January 4, 1968, that
the Jeannette Rankin Brigade (JRB) with headquarters at
133 West 72nd Street, New York City, originally scheduled
a demonstration in Washington, D.C. on January 8, 1968, to
coincide with the opening of Congress. In view of the
fact that the reconvening of Congress was delayed until
January 15, 1968, the organization rescheduled the
demonstration for that date. The source stated that the
JRB is composed mostly of members of Women Strike for
Peace, a pacifist organization and is using the name of
the JRB only for this one affair,

The above source stated that individuals are to.
meet at Union Station in Washington, D.C., at approximately
11:30 a.m, on January 15, 1968, and then walk in a "silent
procession" to the United States Capitol. Literature sent
out by the local office of Women Strike for Peace indicate
that the women will assemble at Union Station at the above
time and "in solemn procession and wearing black, we will
walk to the Capitol steps behind our delegation who will
present our '"Women's Petition to the Congress'"’ demanding
redress of grievances."

According to the source, the group wanted to have
Speaker of the House McCormick and Senator Mansfield meet
them on the Capitol steps and accept the above mentioned
petition, Thereafter, the women would visit both the Senate
and the United States House of Representatives and confer

were to attempt to persuade Congressmen to lend their support
to end the war in Vietnam, The source indicated that the.
organization had written to Speaker McCormick and Senator
Mansfield asking to be met on the Capitol steps but Speaker

them on the steps but he would be willing to receive a
delegation of ten to fifteen women in his office on that
date. The source stated that Senator Mansfieid had not
replied to their request,

. The source ‘stated that some of the women in the
IRB want to commit acts of civil disobedience so that they
may be arrested but most of the individuals involved do

not think it advisable to commit acts of civil disobedience,
The source stated that at no time have any specific details.
been mentioned as to the acts of civil disobedience which
might be committed. The source stated that following the
visit to Congress, the women would like to hold a meeting -
sometime batween 2 p.m, and 6 p.m, at some logical site in
Washington, D.C. Source stated that negotiations are

under way to rent the D,C, Armory for that time and they.

to rent a ballroom at the Shoreham Hotel,

JANUARY 15, 1968.

Captain Robert Krahling, United States Capitol
Police, advised on January 3, 1968, that a delegation from
the JRB and their attorney, Joseph \Forer, met with officials
of the United States Capitol Police on January 2, 1968, | ;- J
concerning details of the proposed demonstration. These al
individuals were advised by the United States Capitol Police
that they cannot demonstrate on the Capitol grounds in tit
a group or carry placards, as such activity is prohibited ~~
by rules of Congress, Forer, as attorney for the group,
advised the officials that these women will be coming to
the Capitol as individuals and although they will be walking
together they .can only be kept out of the Capitol building
if the police exclude all visitors from the United States
Capitol,. Forer argued that such a demonstration on the
Capitol grounds is not a violation of the law by the
participants but a violation of the United States Government
in refusing to allow its citizens to present their grievances
to Congress.

Captain Krahling advised that in addition to
Joseph Forer, the members of the above delegation included
the following individuals:

CO ETAT
WOMEN FOR PEACE aka
Women Strike for Peace

The "Berkeley Daily Gazette," a daily newspaper of
general circulation published in Berkeley, California,
contained an article in the November 19, 1965,evening
edition reflecting that in November, 1961, when con-

cern mounted over radioactive fallout from nuclear
testing, a group of women in Washington, D. C. started
Women Strike for Peace. The idea spread rapidly through-
out the country and now embraces 900 groups, including
Women For Peate groups in the San Francisco Bay area.

These groups support programs to achieve goals such as:
(1) Continued disarmament negotiations.
(2) A strong and flexible United Nations. -

(3) Planning now at state and national levels for
conversion to peace-~time economy and positive
efforts to ease world tensions.

The women act as individuals and as a group, with specific
actions suggested by individuals and groups from all over
the world. Decision to participate jointly on any given
suggestion is democratly arrived at by members of the Co--
ordinating Committee. Effective cooperation with other
peace groups is encouraged. Monthiy Coordinating Committee
meetings and general. meetings, as warranted, are open to
all and announced in mailings to members. There are no
dues or membership forms nor conditions for membership.

To stir an awareness of the need for peace, Ylomen For
Peace encourage public education in peace objectives at
local schools and sponsor peace~-oriented demonstrations
and public meetings, newspaper ads, billboards, and
candidates for public office. On the national level
the group attempts to influence government officials

by letters and conferences.

CHICAGO COUNCIL OF AMERICAN-SOVIET
AULATIONS, Formerly known as Chicaga
councha of American-Soviet Friendship

EDWIN GORDON FOX, 7147 deffrey Avenue, Chicago,
Illinois, (now deceased) made available in January, 1954, the
"First Annual Report CCASF," an undated publication which
stated that the Chicago Council of American-Soviet Friendship
(CCASF) was incorporated in July, 1943. This document stated,
"The Council's affiliation with the National Council of
American-Soviet Friendship (NCASF) was validated August ll,
(1943), The present name was adopted to conform to standard
national practice. Jt should be noted, however, that the
Chicago Council is entirely autonomous; the government of its
affairs rests exclusively in the hands of its Chicago Executive
Board." :

On April 8, 1965, a source furnished information to
the effect that as of March 11, 1965, this organization would
be known as the Chicago Council of American-Soviet Relations
(CCASR). MANDEL TERMAN continued to be listed as Chairman of
the new organization.

During April, 1965, a second source advised that
MANDEL TERMAN had arbitrarily dissclved the Board of Directors,
assumed all financial and other functions of the organization,
and was maintaining existing records of the organization at
his residence, 660 West Irving Park Road, Chicago, Illinois.
The aims and purposes of this organization continued to be
to work for peaceful coexistence and friendship with the USSR.
While it claimed to be an autonomous organization, its program
followed the NCASF and it was in freguent contact with the
NCASF.

On November 5, 1958, a third source advised that in
the early 1940s, MANDEL TERMAN was a member-at~large of the
Communist Party (CP) of Illinois. TERMAN was in Russia in
November, 1958, where he had gone to discuss the treatment of
Jews and to discuss Jewish culture in the USSR with the
leadership of the Soviet Union.

CHICAGO COUNCIL OF AMERICAN-
SOVIET RELATIONS

; In January, 1966, a fourth source advised that the
CCASR went out of existence in the Spring of 1965 due to the
health condition of MANDEL A, PLEAAN The cffices of the
CCASR, formerly located at 32 Yest Randoloh Street, Chicago,
were for a short time carried at WANDEL TERMAN's home resi-
dence, 660 West Irving Park Road, Chicago. During the Fall
of 1965 due to the defunctness of the CCASR, the CP of Illinois
found it necessary to sponsor a raily honoring the 48th
anniversary of the Russian Revolution under a temporary
committee called “The Chicago Committee for American-Soviet
Friendship Rally.” This rally was held cn November 7, 1965,
and once the rally was held this temporary committee went
out of existence.

The fourth source advised that as of the present
time the CCASR is defunct in the Chieago area and any future
rally to be held on the American-Soviet friendship theme will
have to be organized by the CP of [Illinois on a temporary
basis.

The NCASF has been desivnated pursvant to Executive
Order 10450, .

A source advised on May 9, 1967, that it was his
understanding that the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) was
formed around 1936 in New York City, and that the Chicage
Chapter of the NLG (CCNLG), which is affiliated with the
national group in-New York, was formed shortly theresiter,
possibly in 1937 by a group of liberal progressive lawyers
in protest against activities of the American Bar Asscciution
Which they claimed was a non-liberal, non-progressive
organization. The CCNLG has no established headquarters kat
occasionally uses the return address of its officials in
literature.

JEANNETTE RANKIN
HELENA, MONTANA

en November 27, 1967 .

TO ALL AMERICAN WOMEN, TT tee

Iam proud of the fact that my first vote cast in Congress

was a vote against war, It was the first opportunity for a
woman to vote because I was the first woman to be elected
to Congress,

I believed then as I do today that women are the ones who
must be concerned with the needs and development of the
human race. I have always fought for the dignity of all

human beings -- for those of the present as well as those

of future generations.
I will continue to struggle as long as I live.

I hope all women will respond to the following CALL, and
join me in Washington on January 8, 1968, the opening
day of Congress,

With highest hopes,

JEANNETTE RANKIN


*

OA call Go AMERICAN WOMEN

who are outraged by the ruthless slaughter in Vietnam
i and the persistent neglect of human needs at home :

TO COME TO WASHINGTON JANUARY 13. & 16

AMERICAN WOMEN constitute 51% of the voting population, yet a high percentage of us don’t vote. -
It is time for women to break out of their societal molds and take their place as effective, vocal citi-
zens. WOMEN CAN ELECT the President they want; Women can determine the political, social and
economic direction of the nation. WE HAVE WOMEN POWER. Let’s use it to demonstrate our
opposition to this war to the Congress of the United States.

We are a broad coalition of women from many areas of American life. We shall meet in Washington
on January 15 for the opening of Congress to demand the following:

1, CONGRESS, AS ITS FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS, RESOLVE TO END THE .
WAR IN VIETNAM AND IMMEDIATELY ARRANGE FOR THE WITHDRAWAL
OF ALL AMERICAN TROOPS.

. CONGRESS USE ITS POWER TO HEAL A SICK SOCIETY AT HOME.
3. CONGRESS USE ITS POWER TO MAKE REPARATION FOR THE RAVAGED
LAND WE LEAVE BEHIND IN VIETNAM.

4, CONGRESS LISTEN TO WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE SAYING AND
REFUSE THE INSATIABLE DEMANDS OF THE MILITARY—INDUSTRIAL
COMPLEX.

After we petition the United States Congress, we will hold our own congress to articulate our position
on the basic problem of achieving peace. We declare our intention to return to our communities and
mobilize women to dedicate ourselves to reshaping American society, and restoring our country toa
position of honor in the community of nations.

On January 15, we will meet at the Union Depot in Washington, D.C., at 11:30 A. M., and walk behind
our delegation which will present our petition to the U.S. Congress.

On January 16, many of us will stay in Washington to begin implementation of these demands by
presenting them to our Congressmen and Senators. We hope you can stay.

DEMONSTRATION PROTESTING UNITED STATES POLICY
IN VIET NAM, WASHINGTON, D. C., JANUARY 15, 1968
INFORMATION CONCERNING (INTERNAL SECURITY).

Reference is made to prior Los Angeles memoranda
dated December 12 and 30, 1967, relating to a proposed march
on Washington, D. C., by the Jeannette Rankin Brigade (JRB),
when the United States Congress reconvenes in January 1968.

Source One advised that the Women Strike for Peace

WSP - see appendix) and the Women for Legislative Action

WLA - see appendix) are the two major organizations in
Southern California working for the success of the January 15,
1968, activities of the JRB both locally and in Washington,
D.C. Subcommittees of the JRB have been meeting in the
headquarters of WSP at 5899 West Pico Boulevard, and WLA at
5889 West Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles. During the most

recent of these subcommittee meetings, held during the first
week in January 1968, at the latter location, much of the.
discussion was related to proposed action in Southern California

JEANNETTE RANKIN

wath wy é
eo \y HELENA, MONTANA

November 27, 1967
TO ALL AMERICAN WOMEN,

I am proud of the fact that my first vote cast in Congress
was a vote against war. It was the first opportunity for a
woman to vote because I was the first woman to be elected
to Congress,

I believed then as [ do today that women are the ones who
must be concerned with the needs and development of the
human race, I have always fought for the dignity of all
human beings ~~ for those of the present as well as those
of future generations,

I will continue to struggle as long as I live.

I hope all women will respond to the following CALL,, and
_ join me in Washington on January 8, 1968, the opening
day of Congress,

With highest hopes,

' Dear WSPER:

Women Strike for Peace nationally is suovorting the Jeannette Rankin Brigade.
'Pleneloads, trainloads and carloads of women will be coming into Washington on Mon-
day, January 15th, from all over the country.

We are particularly pleased with this action because it represents for the first

time a real coalition of women's peace groups, church groups, theatre personalities,
jand community leaders. -

| The Day is envisioned as a solemn, dignified confrontation of those who should be
representing the ever growing opposition to the war. We ask that you write your Con-
igressmen urging that they supvort the four points listed in the enclosed Call as Con-

‘gress reconvenes, Later in the afternoon at our Women's Congress we want to be able to
report on Congressional responses,

aes

We will all meet at Union Station in Washington at ll: 30 AM and slowly walk to the
capitol. We ask the women to wear black, We will be led by Jeannette Rankin who will
oroceed to the top of the Capitol steps with a representative delegation of 50 women to
oresent our petition to the two men who represent the whole of Congress, Senator Mike
“ansfield and Speaker of the House McCormack. The delegation will read the demands be- |
Zore the assembled women and the two Congressmen. Leaving the Hill, the vomen will enter
yuses for a motorcade to a Congress of American Yomen (place to be ’ announced). . Women
nll present an analysis of the current crisis on the war front and the domestic front,

\eading to suggestions for program and actions to be taken back to our communities ‘for im
plementation,

Women may choose to remain in Washington the next day to meet with their Congressmen.
\f you wish to stay and wish help in securing accommodations, contact the Hospitality Com-
ittee, 2140 P, St. N.W . Washington, DC (293-2020). We regret that in order to get the

‘ovest train fare we had to guarantee return the same day; therefore you would have to
‘inance your own trip back on the 16th,

‘Our hope is that 10, 000 women will converge upon Washington,

We urge you to parti~
ipate.

Yours for Peace,

The December 14, i967 issue of the "St. Louis Post-
Dispatch", a daily St. Louis newspaper, in an article on
Page 10C, stated that Jeannette Ranken was planning a massive
Vietnam peace project by women who would converge on Congress
in January, 1968. She is elsewhere quoted to have said, "Tex
thousand women have sat back and let their sons be killed in
Vietnam. If we had.ten thousand women willing to go tc jail
if necessary we could stop the war in Vietnam, You canrot besv-
wars without women," She has stated that she is willing is
stay in jail until the bombing in Vietnam is stopped.

Source One advised on January 6, 1968, that the

Mrs. John C, Bennett, Mrs. gathered here. Our messagé to
Benjamin Spock, Mrs Judith Reps, Mink and Matsunaga, to
Morse Eaton, The Brigade is a Sens. Fong and Inouye, is that

women will no longer give their sons and loved ones to a government
, waging a genocidal war...
women will no longer accept a government which represents a military
and industrial machine rather than its people...
women will no longer consent to raise their children in the blight
and neglect of a society geared to profit and war...
women grieve for suffering people all over the world and will no longer
remain silent while the gap widens between the rich and the poor...

We ask our government to design and carry out a domestic program
commensurate with the needs of the American people; -to fokiew.a
policy of non-intervention in the affairs of other countries; to
pursue our official committment to disarmament, and to respect
international law,

American women who, as women everywhere, are the bearers ‘and conservers
of life, will not stand idly by as Life is destroyed.in our name.

About two hundred Oahy women have signed the following petition to
Congress: :

As Congress reconvenes, we urge that its first order of business
be to put an end to the war in Vietnam and arrange for the withdrawal
of American troops; and that the Congress turn its attention to
amehvorating the crisis in America,

We urge the Congress to heal a sick society at home, to make reparations
for the ravaged land we leave behind in Vietnam and to refuse to
listen to the insatiable demands of the military-industrial complex.

I want to be kept informed about women's peace activities.

JANUARY 8, 1968
INFORMATION CONCERNING

The Kansas City Star" newspaper, Kansas City,
Missouri, edition of January 14, 1968, contained an article
stating that Kansas City women were responding to a "woman
power" appeal issued by Miss Jeanette Rankin, former member
of Congress, to end the war in Vietnam. According to the
article, a small delegation of Kansas City women plan to go
to Washington, D. C., on January 15, 1968, to participate in
the march by the "Jeanette Rankin Brigade" to petition Congress
for a United States withdrawal from Vietnam. The others in
the group would remain in Kansas City and present copies of
the petition to the offices of U. §. Representatives Richard
Bolling, Kansas City, Missouri, and Larry Winn, Kansas City,
Kansas, at 1:00 p.m., on January 15, 1968.

The "Kansas City Star" evening edition of January
15, 1968, carried an article stating that on the afternoon
of January. 15, 1968, 20 women appeared at the offices of
Representatives Bolling and Winn. They carried no signs
and the demonstration was orderly. The women, all from the
greater Kansas City area, merely presented a petition asking
Congress to end the war in Vietnam and withdraw American.
troops, to make reparations for the "ravaged land we leave
behind in Vietnam", and to listen to the American people
and refuse "the insatiable demands of the military-industrial
complex". The article stated that the Kansas City branch of
| the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom
had been planning to send representatives to the Washington
| march, but it was not until Wednesday that they decided to
present the petitions to Congressmen Winn and Bolling.

According to the article, Mrs. John M.“Swomley , JPe, |’
Program Chairman of the organization, stated the Kansas City —_—
group hoped to identify with the women in Washington and their -
objective to bring and end to the war in Vietnam. eee

DEMONSTRATION PROTESTING U.S. 3

POLICY IN VIETNAM
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
JANUARY 15, 1968

Chairman of the Brigade, announced to the demonstrators that this
local demonstration was principally gathered to support women
from around the. United States who were gathered in Washington,
D.C. today, as part of a nation-wide demonstration sponsored by
the Jeannette Rankin Brigade, to petition Congress to resolve
the conflict in Vietnam. Bridges stated that inasmuch as it

was not possible for the demonstrators to personally contact
their congressmen, most of whom were out of town; that following
the presentation of a petition to Mayor Joseph Alioto, the
demonstrators would then proceed to the Western Union Office on
10th and Market Streets in San Francisco, so that the women
protestors could send wires to their congressmen, protesting
United States policies in Vietnam. Bridges indicated that the
petitioners would request Mayor Alioto to convey to Congress
their petition, which among other things urged Congress, as its
first order of business, to resolve to end the War in Vietnam and
immediately arrange for withdrawal of all American troops from
Vietnam; for Congress to use its power to heal the sick society”
at home and to make reparations for the ravaged lands left
behind in Vietnam.

A source advised March 2, 1967, that Mrs. H.
Bridges, also known as Nikki Bridges, 35
Kronquest Court, San Francisco, California, was
listed as a recipient of a new yearly subscription
to the "People’s World" (PW), expiration date:
March 4, 1968.

The PW is a west coast communist newspaper,
published weekly in San Francisco. po
The next speaker was identified as Aileen*Hérnandez.~
She spoke for approximately five minutes and briefily~ explained
to the demonstrators who Jeannette Rankin is and what the purposes
of the Jeannette Rankin Brigade are. She stated that the group
has no principal spokesman and it is principally a group of
women who are involved and committed in a fight for peace.

Several of the demonstrators, led by Nikki Bridges,
then proceeded to the Office of Mayor Joseph Alioto to present
their petition.

DEMONSTRATION PROTESTING U. S.
POLICY IN VIETNAM

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
JANUARY 15, 1968

Approximately ten minutes later the Mayor of
San Francisco appeared on the steps of the City Hall and announced
to the demonstrators that he would gladly transmit their
petition to Congress. .Mayor Alioto stated that he fully
believed in the constitutional right of peaceful assembly.
He indicated, however, that because he had consented to
transmit the demonstrators' petition to Washington, he did not
necessarily agree with it. The Mayor then stated that it
was his personal opinion that the United States Government and
the Johnson Administration had done all in its power to attempt
' to come to a peaceful and honorable solution in the Vietnamese
War. He related that he felt that it was now up to the other
side to make the same attempts to arrive at a peaceful solution
in the Vietnamese conflict.

At approximately 12:45 p.m., the demonstrators proceeded
to the Western Union Office located at 10th and Market Streets
in San Francisco, so that wires could be sent to their congressmen
in Washington.

A Special Agent of the FBI observed one Elaine - “Ae
Yoneda participating in the above demonstration and following
the demonstration Yoneda was observed to return to her employment
at the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union
(ILWU) - Pacific Maritime Association, Pension Fund, at 150

Golden Gate Avenue,’ San Francisco.

A second source advised on December 4, 1967, that
Elaine Yoneda is a current and active member of the Communist
Party, (CP).

On January 15, 1968, a Special Agent of the FBI
observed a silent protest by a group of women on the lawn
of Colton Hall, Monterey, California, between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m.
These women were ostensibly gathered to support the demonstration
being held in Washington, D.C., sponsored by the Jeannette Rankin
Brigade. There were no speeches given; the demonstrators merely
conducted a silent vigil.

A one page leaflet captioned "Women To Take First
Step to End The War" printed by the Jeannette Rankin Brigade,
at 150 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California, was handed
! out at the above demonstration. A Neroxed duplication of this
leaflet is appended to this memorandum.

CHICAGO CHAPTER

A source advised on May 9, 1967, that it was his
understanding that the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) was
formed around 1936 in New York City, and that the Chicage
Chapter of the NLG (CCNLG), which is affiliated with the
national group in New York, was formed shortly theresaiter,
possibly in 1937 by a group of liberal progressive lawyers
in protest against activities of the American Bar Association
which they claimed was a non-liberal, non-progressive
organization. The CCNLG has no established headquarters tat
occasionally uses the return address of its officials in
literature.

black), and eight non-Caucasian adults were involved, plus
some younssters and infants, The mother of one of the children
had a eardboard sign, depicting a bomb and the caption, "I'm

a fibirrote€ Sherman was introduced as the wife of
Laurence Sherman, it being pointed out that he was an 7
unsuccessful candidate for public office, on a peace slate,
during 1967, but that both he and his wife were continuing the
fight for an end to the wer in Vietnam. She said, "It is time
for us to re-examine our role.as women. Women are a vehicle
for giving life. We will not be a venicle ror perpetuation

of wars' She then read some anti-war quotes from Henry David
Thoreau, “indicating they were as timely today, as when he wrote
them. . .

Margaret Wright stated that wheres the majority of
women in the demonstration were wearing black to denote mourning,
that she and her non-Caucasian associates who feel, "Black is
beautiful” were dressed in white to indicate their attitude of
mourning She called for the elimination of ROTC (Reserve
Officers “Training Corps ) from local high schools and junior
colleges, adding, "They have got to get live bullets out of the
schools, and get some live teachers in." She repeated these
same statements during the afternoon wren the JRB moved to
the Los Angeles City Board of Education.

As the rally was breaking uo, Wright grabbed the
public address system and said that it nad been learned that
| the City Council was in session inside the City Hall Building.

She urged the women not to.disperse, but to join her and...
others in invading the City Council Chambers with a demand

that the JRB be allowed to speak to the Council even though
they had not made previous arrangements for a place-on the .
agenda that day. Some of the women were already out of range
of the public address system and did not hear this announcement
by Wright, having already been dismissed by. Sissons and told to
reconvene at the Board of Education following luncheon. .

Approximately 200 of the demonstrators did enter

. the Council Chambers, They got word to the councilmen, through- -
- one of the staff members, that they wished to be heard.

A motion to allow a JRB representative to address them was

put before tne Council, and defeated by a vote of six to five.

Immediately following this vote, there was a unanimous vote

that the Council adjourn. As the councilmen filed out of the

room, Tima Tomash rushed to-the front shouting demands that

they retur, while other of the women hissed and booed the

city legislators.

During the noon hour some of the women distributed.
leaflets in the City Hall and on the surrounding streets: in
the downtown Civic Center. |

At 1:00 PM, the wonfén, whose numbers had by that

time been reduced to 125, massed in the patio of the. Los eet
Angeles City Board of Education, 450 North Grand Avenue,
Los..Angeles.. Sissons, Wright and Tomash addressed-the .-- --- .-
assembled demonstrators, pointing out that money spent in
Vietnam could be better spent in education. Wright claimed
that many of the so-called student "drop-outs" are in reality |
"“push-outs", claiming that she herself was one of the latter. |
She said, We need books, not bombs. We ‘mow this is a racist
war and we blacks are not going to fight a racist war"; -She.:.
indicated that rather than fight overseas, the black people
would remain at home and fight the racists. She also seid,
"Just because I'm pro-black doesn't necessarily mean I'm anti-.
white." .

Wright said, "I'm not political, but I am honest. I
can't honestly get up and say the pledge of allegiance to the
. American flag, because I really don't have liberty and. justice;
so I just get up and stand and won't repeat the pledge."
Later, when she observed a photograph of President Johnson
hanging from.a wall in the Administration Building at the
Los Angeles City Board of Education, she told the JRB women
with her, , "We shouldn't have to look at such pornographic
pictures. —

Wright said that her arrest at the hands of Los
Angeles City School Security Officers, during the recent.
Manual Arts High School disturbance, had at Teast oke bright
result. She said that at the time of her arrest it had been
necessary for the arresting officers to drag her down the
hall as she was too heavy for them to carry. Then she added
that the next time she is arrested the officers will not have
that excuse as she has lost thirty pounds in the meantime.

The speeches in the patio ended at 1:39 PM and many
of the women left immediately... Seventy-eight women remained -.
and attempted to enter a spécial committee meeting being attended
by some of the School Board members. They were informed by a
member of-the administrative staff that the public meeting of the
School Board would not be held until 4:00 PM, the regularly
scheduled meeting time.. The women milled around in the nallway
outside the meeting room, until finally a staff member came out
and told them that two members‘of the School Board, Reverend
James E. Jones and Dr. Julian. Nava, had agreed to grant them an
audience. The women were then ushered into the public board
room of the School Board where they waited until 2:00 PM at
which time the above-named Board members granted the demonstrators
@ short audience and answered some duestions put to them by the
women, One guestion, as to how much longer the members of the
School Board were going to-permit recruiters from the armed -
forces to interview students at local-high schools and junior.
colleges remained unansvered, but Dr. Nava pointed out to the
women that-he had seen nothing wrong in entering the armed
forces to fight for this country himself when he was 17 years
of age; and he could see nothing wrong in other young men who
wanted to do the same today. The demonstration was cancluded
by 3:00 PH. There were no incidents and no arrests. <

ae el mA LL

The Southern Conference for Human Welfare (SCHW)
was cited as a Communist front by the House Committee on
Un-American Activities, House Report 592, June 12, 1947.

In the same house report, "The Southern Patriot" was cited
as an "organ" of the SCHW.

An amendment to the charter of the SCHW dated
April 26, 1946, changed its name to the Southern Conference
Educational Fund, Incorporated (SCEF) and stated its purpose
to be to improve the educational and cultural standards of
the Southern people in accordance with the highest
American democratic institutions, traditions and ideals.

The masthead of the April, 1967, issue of
"The Southern Patriot" indicates that it is the publication
of SCEF, editorial and business offices of which are
located at 3210 West Broadway, Lovisville, Hentucky,
Eastern office of whieh is located at Suite 412, 799
Broadway, New York City. New York. ‘The Southern Patriot"
ig published once each month, except July. S&CEF is stated
to pe dedicated to ending discrimination based on race,
creed, color, Sex, national origin or economic condition.

Carl Braden is identifaed as Executive Director
of SCEF and Anne Braden as editor of 'The Souwtkern Patriot."

Mrs. Alberta Ahearn, 2311 Payne Street, Louisville,
Kentucky, a self~-admitted former member of the Communist
Party (CP), Louisville, Kentucky, testified on December 11, ‘
| and 13, 1954, in Jefferson County, Kentucky Criminal Court
in a State sedition prosecution against Carl James Braden.
| She identified Carl Braden and his wife, Anne McCarty Sraden,
as having been known to her as members of the CP from
January, 1951 to December, 1954. . ‘

The SCEF is self-described as having deep roots
in the South where it began as the educational wing of the
SCHW, organized in 1938 to work for economic and political
reform. When the SCHW disbanded in the late 1940's, SCEF

SCEF (Continued)

continued as an independent organization, rallying support
for integration and democracy and helping to stimulate

and nurture new movements of the early 1960's. The SCEF
maintained headquarters in Louisiana for twenty years, but
in 1966 moved its headquarters to Louisville, Kentucky.

A source advised on March 2, 1961, that Claude
Lightfoot, a Communist Party functionary, stated at a meeting
of the Communist Party in Baltimore, Maryland, on February 25,
1961, that th Communist Party is not connected with any
progressive movement but indirectly they do have some influence
in the SCEF.

A second source, who is familiar with some phases
of Communist Party activity in the New Orleans area, advised
on June 3, 1966, that during the time that the SCHW was in
existence, members of the Communist Party were members of”
and worked actively in the SCHW; however, since the formation
of the SCEF, Communist Party members have not been encouraged
to work in the SCEF. The source stated that the SCEF is
a progressive, liberal organization, which he considers a
Communist Party front organization because it has gone along
with the Communist Party on certain issues, particularly
on the racial issue.

A third source advised on May 25, 1965, that
George Meyers, a Communist Party functionary, expressed
great admiration for Carl and Anne Braden and the SCEF,
with which they are affiliated, and expressed the view
that the SCEF is the best organization in the South as far
as doing effective work is concerned and that they have a
better idea of what they are doing, where they are heading,’
and influence other organizations for the better.

The second source also advised on June 3, 1966,
that many people who are officials and supporters of the
SCEF, while liberal in their views, are by no means Communists.

FAIR PLAY FOR CUBA COMMITTEE

x

| The April 6, 1960, edition of “The New York Times"
¢ newspaper contained a full-page advertisement captioned
"What Is Really Happening In Cuba," placed by the Fair Play
for Cuba Committee (FPCC). This advertisement announced the
formation of the FPCC in New York City and declared the FPCC
intended to promulgate "the truth about revolutionary Cuba" to
neutralize the distorted American press,

"The New York Times” edition of January 11, 1961,
reported that at a hearing conducted before the United States
Senate internal Security Subcommittee on January 10, 1961,

Dr. Charles A. Santos-Buch identified himself and Robert Taber
as organizers of the FPCC. He also testified he and Taber
obtained funds from the Cuban Government which were applied
toward the cost of the aforementioned advertisement.

i On May 16, 1963, a source advised that during the

A first two years of the FPCC's existence there was a struggle
between Communist Party (CP) and Socialist Workers Party(SWP)
elements to exert their power within the FPCC and thereby
influence FPCC policy. This source added that during the past
year there had been a successful effort by FPCC leadership to
minimize the role of these and other organizations in the FPCC
so that their influence as of May, 1963, was neoligible.

The SWP has been designated pursuant to Executive
Order 10450.

On May 20, 1963, a second source advised that Vincent
"Ted" Lee, FPCC National Office Director, waa ts:n formulating
FPCC policy and had indicated that he had no intention of
permitting FPCC policy to be determined by any other organization.
This source stated that Lee believed that the ¥PCC should.
advocate resumption of diplomatic relations Between Cuba and
the United States and should support the right of
Cubans to manage their revolution without interference from
other nutions. Lee Aid not advocate supportir: the Cuban
revolution per se,

The November 23, 1963, edition of "The New York Times"
reported that Sengtes Thomas J. Dodd of Connecticut had called
FPCC ‘tthe chief pualic relations instrument of the Castro network
in the United States." It is to be noted that Senator Dodd was
a member of the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee which
twice conducted hearings on the FPCC.

. The December 27, 1963, edition of "The New York World
,egram and Sun" newspaper stated that the pro-Castro FPCC

-was seeking to go out of business and that its prime activity
during its lifetime had been sponsorship of pro-Castro street
rallies and mass picket lines, and the direction of an active
propaganda mill highlighting illegal travel-to-Cuba campaigns.
Its comparatively brief span of,life was attributed to mounting
anti-Castro American public opinion, the 1962 Congressional
hearings which disclosed FPCC financing by Castro's United
Natiors Delegation, and ultimately, the bad publicity which
the FPCC received from disclosure of activities on its behalf
by suspected presidential assassin Lee H. Oswald.

On February 6, 1964, the previously mentioned second
source advised that V. T. Lee had recently remarked that the
FPCC was dead and that there were no plans to organize another
simiiar organization,

On April 13, 1964, a third source advised that there

had not been any FPCC activity in many months and that the
FPCC had been dissolved,

arrests. It was also stated police had prepared for five
hundred arrests; that all telephones into the demonstration
headquarters were being monitored; and that permission to
march was still being withheld. After the California group
had been briefed, the following instructions were read to
the Washington delegates by MALVINA REYNOLDS of California:

(1) Maintain silence throughout the march.

(2) Maintain strict discipline; walk to the right
on the sidewalk.

: (3) Follow the instructions of monitors in blue
armbands who will be under orders from white arm-banded marshals.

RE: DEMONSTRATION PROTESTING UNITED STATIS PGLICY
IN VIETNAM; WASHINGTON, DM 2., JANUARY 15, 1968

CONFIDENTIAL

TAIMI HALONEN and THORUN ROBEL were mildly self-
eritical about not working for the programs the younger women
were promoting. TAIMT said she was tired after working long
hours on the Seattle conference to be held Saturday, January
20th at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Seattle at which the
Seattle delegation would report. HALONEN made the observation,
however, that the women working on the program were all very
experienced leaders and she trusted they would formulate a
satisfactory program.

On Monday, January 15, 1968. the delegates including
the group from Washington State, met at the Union Station in
Washington, DC. It was learned here that the instructions
which had been given the day before at the Shoreham Hotel were
evidently for the California group only, because many California
pecple had been badly beaten in previous demonstrations and
they were very cautious and somewhat apprehensive. The
official pattern was different. Mimeographed sheets headed
"Jearrerte Rankin Brigade - Information and Instructions" were
passed out and these appeared to be the official instructions.
A reproduction is attached.

r
_ ~ the Washington State delegation was enlarged when a

Mrs, -SACKUP from Tacoma arrived. RADER said some of the money

usually received from wealthy contributors had been collected

by Mrs. BACKUP. Reverend HAROLD-BASS of Tacoma collected . °--~.

$179.00, and wanted comeone etse tc go instead of ZEFRA

(STUDAMIRE). RADER defended herself when TAIMI HALONEN criticized

her for bringing ZEFRA along since ZEFRA is at least six months

pregnant.

After the demonstration, HEALY and RADER spent much
of the time urging the speakers to include in their talks some-
thing about the status of the American Indian. ELLA BAKER from
New York did include a paragraph from the paper the Washington
State delegation submitted to Congress. This was entitled,
"American Indians and the Struggle for Peace". It had been
prepared by LONNIE HEALY aithough at its bottom it carried the
notation "(Prepared by the Jeannette Rankin Brigade Delegation
from Washington State)."”

RADER, HEALY, and CORR became indignant because the
audience did not give a standing ovation to Mrs. MARTIN L. KING,
dr. or any of the Negro speakers.

HEALY espressed great dissatisfaction with the
basic organization ci the gathering. She wanted an onrgani-
zational meeting instead of a raily type meeting which
occurred. HALONEN and ROBEL agreed somewhat. HEALY implied
the wncle thing was a waste of her time.

In the workshop section of the meeting, HALONEN
worked in the legislative action section; HELEN FRENCH and
ELAINE HORSLEY in the electoral campaigns; and HEALY and
CORR in racism. Here, too, the younger women were very
critical. HEALY, particularly, resented having men as
“resource people" for the group. She said she thought this
was a women's congress. TAIMI said she found herself in a
situation that was quite different in that she was working
with a very broad spectrum of politically and economically oriented
individuals and it was a real learning experience... ELAINE
HORSLEY was anxious to get back home and work for peace while
the spirit of JEANNETTE RANKIN was still fresh. She and
HELEN FRENCH expressed the view the congress met the needs
of American women in giving a concrete program on which to work.

Tuesday, January 16, 1968, was for lobbying. The
Seattle and Tacoma people were told to meet at the Methodist
Building, 100 Maryland Avenue. HALONEN, ROBEL, HEALY, HORSLEY,
and HELEN FRENCH arrived before the appointed time. After about
an hour, EMELIA CASSIDY arrived stating RADER had an eye problem
and would be unable to attend. Mrs. BACKUP joined the group.
LINDA CORR and ZEFRA were too tired to get up so early. The
group called on Washington State's Senators JACKSON and MAGNUSON,
but they were not in their offices. After leaving a copy of
the women's petition and a questionnaire prepared by the
Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (see attachment}
they called on Washington State's Congressmen FLOYD HICKS and
BROCK ADAMS. Mr, HiCKS was out or town. Mrs. HOKSLEY knew. the.,
Congressman personally and her son knew two of the ‘office
personnel. She asked that they relate to him that she was
vitally interested in peace and social justice.

Congressman BROCK ADAMS was in his office and spent
about twenty minutes talking with the group concerning his
political views and some of the political machinations of his
party. The group then began to disintegrate. ELAINE HORSLEY
left to get a 2:30 flight to Boston where she would visit her
son who is attending Harvard University.

After some sightseeing in the arternoon, HALONEN,
ROBEL, and Mrs. BACKUP checked into the Plaza Hctel since
they were going to stay a day or two longer for some workshops.
RADER stayed also. The rest of the group, HEALY, CORR, ZEFRA
(STUDAMIRE), CASSIDY, and FRENCH went to Friendship Airport
and boarded UAL Flight 41 for Seattle.

While in Washington, HEALY kept trying to call a
CARL BLOICE who the source thought used to be either in Seattle
or San Francisco, but she never reached him.

The workshops held on January 15th after the march were:
(1) Legislative Action

(2) Electoral Campaign

(3) Press

(4) New Women in New World

(5) War at Home

(6) Resistance
€a) Action

CASSIDY, a member of that club, reported on her trip to Washington,
D.C. She stated she stayed at DONNA ALLEN's home there. She said
MARJORIE RADER got an eye infection which kept her from going to

troubles might be attributed to the fact STUDAMIRE is expecting
a baby in April. CascilyY stated there were tco many rules to
follow.

The delegates weren't premittec to carry a nail file,
wear peace buttons, or exhibit RANKIN buttons. They had to walk
Six abreast and were not allowed to march around the White
House. She said a suit will be brought in court for this
denial of their rights. She went on to state each person had
or was given $10.00 to carry on his person so he could not
be arrested for vagrancy.

CASSIDY said a nurse, Mrs. HELEN MrTCUOK, had been
very helpful to the group. COOK told CASSIDY she could be reached
at 719 Beechwood Road, Media, Pennsylvania, if more information
is desired concerning Veterans for Peace, which was not further
described.

GUY RADER, a CP member at this meeting, tried to stop
CASSIDY when the latter complained ZEFRA STUDAMIRE was too
immature to have been sent to the conference, but CASSIDY wasn't
easy to stop. She was incensed over the fact money had been used
for STUDAMIRE's trip and the latter refused to cooperate. RADER
and STUDAMIRE remained in Washington, D.C. after the conference
to handle some business with the Student Non-Violent Coordinating
Committee (SNCC) according to CASSIDY.

wian with a rif’e buts. Some Indian youth view the television progra.o
vuster"™ as indicacive of racist America. The National Congress of American
Tadians opposes .ais distortion of hiscory. Beatings and murder of Indians
in Haine go unchallenged. Congress voted in 195 to open up Indian land
reservations to state jurisdiction, In actuality, this rides established
tribal courts and federal jurisdiction, lt gives local bigoted authorities
uore Opportunity to harrass and open the way to termination of our treaties
and in several places resulted in actual loss of land.

It is as deadly to be an Indian in America as it is to be a soldier
in Viet Nam. In the three years before 19u7, more Indian children below the
age of 16 had died in this country than the 6,628 U. S. combat casualties of
tle entire Viet Nam War (as of the end of 1966). Most of these were children
below the age of six. :

The price we pay is the built~in racism our children are taught in
school, over television, in-cartoons; the Indian has become a joxe, to white
Americans, We pay because we don’t know our own history.

The thread of struggle for self-determination runs through the history
of Indian-Americans. When a few Indian youth speak of Red Power, the roots go
deep into their history in finding nourishment for this demand. Just as some
Negro leaders today speak of W.E.B, DuBois as having raised the same issue cf
identity long before the level of struggle, which is Black Power, arrived.
This struggle has gone on for 400 years.

The Indian people have been sending spokesmen to bring their grievances

* and their positions before the power structure of this country for two hundred

years. They have fought in the courts since at least 1330 when the case of
the Cherokee Nation vs. Georgia tested the ability and the willingness of the
United States to protect an Indian Tribe in its efforts at seif£-determination.

The Vietnamese war is a continuation of the whole racist war we have |
waged ayainst the Indian People. Understanding this is a part of understanding;
the Viet Nam var. We respond to what is happening to Vietnamese children, yet
the Indian people have suffered from the same policy of extermination and é
destruction of their identity,

We must unite with the strivings of those who have had to deal with
United States' genocide for 200 years!

We can help to push the United States to ratify the United Nations
Resolution, "Treaty Asainst Genocide", that the United States should correct
the history and policy of genicide against the Indian people. Today this
refers to the destruction of their identity as'a people and linke with the
struggles of people for their identity all over the world. To stop the policy
of genocide, of racism, to develop compensatory steps to undo the effects of
the crimes against the Indian people, to remove the oppression of the Indian >
people! not ve RE gs ta So,

~i10-
All the forces in this country cannot win democratic power without
waring this correction of what waa done to the American Indian people.

Upon informing the Capitol Police of their planned march to the Capitol building

to present their petition, the wencn were threatened with errest uncer 40 U.S.C.

193 (a) et. seg. which, after defining the area considered Capitol Grounds, states:

"It is forbidden to parade, stand, or move in processions

or assemblapes in said United States Capitol Grounds, or to
display therein any flag, banner, or device designed or “4
adapted to bring into public notice any party, organization, ,

The statute further provides that exceptions from these prescriptive provisions
Will be made in the discretion of certain Congressional leaders and/or Capitol

Police.

The exceptions are allowed on “ocassions of national interest becoming

the congnizance and entertainment of Congress."

‘

The petition of the Jeannette Rankin Brigade apparently does not become “the

entertainment of Congress" and arrests were threatened.

Therefore the suit which

was files prays for the convening of a three-judge Federal District Court which
is Yequested to enjoin the operation and enforcement of the statute and to

declare it unconstitutional.

We have asked the Federal District Court for the

District of Columbia to grant us this relief on an emergency basis prior to

January 15th. Our request was denied.

The same request was made to the District
As it was then impossible

to obtain relief prior to January 15th the Brigade's attorneys are continuing the

appeal on @ non-emergency basis in the Court of Appeals and have every confidence |

of ultimate victory.

This is far from the last time that these women or any other Americans intend

to appear in their nation's Capitol to petition their government.
will be the last time that they find it so difficult to do so.

“gern Welfare prograns in the United States ber. with passage of
“che Socinl Security Acte--in 1955, aGutnorizing federal grants to
states for public assistance and child welfare programs, Tn 1937,
the Washington Legislature repenled the FPoupers Law of 165% and
enacted a State Social Security Law. "Welfare" has toen a. bone of
%

contention ever since,
Greenleigh Report ws .

In 1963, the Washington Legislature appropriated $20,000 for a study
of the state's public assistance programs. The study was made by
Greenleigh Associates, and the Greenleigh Report was presentod in
December, 1964, ~

This report stated that public assistance grants in

Washington, with standar s based on 1959 prices and

12% ratable reductions,t.® ‘e 40% below the minimum

Standards for health and decency, Speaking of child ’

welfare needs, the report said:"There is an excessive

and increasing rate of referral of children to the

Juvenile Courts, both for dependency and delinquency.

There 1s an excessive and increasing trend for children

to be removed from their natural families and ¢ared

for elsewhere,"

WHAT ABOUT RATABLE REDUCTIONS?

ry of podern Welfn

The 1965 Legislature removed the ratable reductions, The 1967
Legislature ordered the Dept. of Public Assistance to bring itts
pricing standard's up to 1967 levels.

New standards were put into effect July first. Increased allowances
for rent vary from county to county. ther allowances were increased
an average of 10-3/4%.In King County the total increase was 16%,
Thus, King County grants have been increased by 28% since 1964,
put the cost of living has increased by at least 5%. Grants are sti
17% less than acceptable levels, .

The maximum grant for a Seattle family consisting of

tuo adults, a boy 13, and a girl 8, is $285.80 a

month--$3,429 a year. But recent changes in the

Federal Social Security Law cast a shadow on even

this figure. The local welfare officials will not

offer any guess as to what may happen next. NEW RATABLE

REDUCTIONS ARE ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY,

There is much talk of getting people off welfare by putting them to
work. Yet who will take care of the children? Child care costs fro
$60 to $80 per child per month in Seattle, ‘
Some examples of women's wages:
Nurses Aid ~ $1.40 per hour -- $2912.00 “per year
House Cleaners - $1.65 per Hr Dept. Store Clerk ~ $1.76% per hr
hotel maids 1.69 " H
Laundry Workers 1.93 % 4 :
garment " 1.60 " 8 Minimum
Journey woman clehls - 2.013 per_hr -~ $4186.00 per year

A source reported on May 17, 1962, a meeting of the
Ballard-Greenwood CP Club was heid in Seattle, April 25, 1962,
at which TAIMI HALCNEN was nominated to be the new Chairman of
this Club. Along with other business of the evening, HALONEN
said she expected to devote a good portion of her time to SWAP,
an organization of peace forces that met recently with seven
members. She said four of the seven were from the "left" but
did not go into detail. She said the group had problems of an
organizational nature because it was new, and she thought she
could help.

On April 5, 1963, a second source stated a meeting of
the University CP Club was held at Seattle on April 2, 1963.
KEN ROSE, a member of the Club, reported the most influential
peace organization in Seattle was SWAP.

On July 31, 1964, a meeting of the North Central cP
Section Committee was held at Seattle. WILL PARRY, Section
Chairman, said attention should be placed on three political
questions - peace, civil rights, and labor. Under peace, he
said CP clubs should inject the Women Act for Peace campaign
into the election campaign. At another Section meeting,
February 5, 1966, TAIMI HALONEN was praised for effective
peace work and for her help in developing unity among the peace
forces. Section-wide concentration was urged in assisting
SWAP to visit 1,000 workers on the Vietnam issue,

A third source advised on February 24, 1966, a
Northwest District CP Committee meeting was held at Seattle
February 12, 1966. After lunch, the entire group participated
in passing out leaflets pertaining tec racial matters and the
Vietnam war which carried the name of SWAP, 5411 Ravenna Avenue
Northeast, Seattle, Washington 98105, which address has heen
used consistently by SWAP and is that of ANCI KOPPEL, also known
as Mrs. CHARLES KOPPEL, KOPPEL has been and continues to be
the coordinator and apparent prime motivating force of SWAP
as of May, 1967.

A fourth source reported in 1945
ANCI KOPPEL was a member of the
Professional Group of the Communist
Political Association (CPA), also
known as the Rogers CP Club at 7
Seattle, Washington. i re

The CPA has been designated by the

On Februa~y 23, 1960, 4 2 ""*2 seported the Communist
panty (CP), Northwest vistrict Com..cvse, at a meeting in’

January, 1960, decided to prepare for opening a cooperative -
bookstore and directed the CP State Board to set up a Party
committee for this purpose:

The above source also reported that at a state-wide
CP conference held on August 27, 1950, CP District Chairman
BURT NELSON reported on the WCC, NELSON announced the committee
was determined’ to have the bookstore opened by the earliest
possible date, probably Oc tober 15, (2960). He urged support
of the wWcc. ‘

A second source in February and March, 1960, advised
a committee of CP members during those months commenced organi-
zation of the WCC with authorized capital of $2,000 which was-
to sell shares and make other plans for operation of a bookstore
selling "progressive" Literature at Seattie. In May and June,
1960, this source reported BURT NELSON, on May 18, 1960, stated
the CP District Literature Commission would concern itself with
the bookstore and other types of literature to be sold. On
May 31, 1960, BURT NELSON suggested October 1, 1960, as the
tentative opening date of the bookstore. |

A second source advised on November 2, 1960, the
“principal aim of the WCC is to establish a bookstore in the
Seattle area inasmuch as this need has long been. recognized -by
the Washington State CP due to difficulties encountered in main-
taining a Party literature apparatus, and it is desired to have
available public facilities to attract supporters and sympathizers.
This source stated the WCC has obtained a location for its
bookstore at 710 Stewart Street, Seattic, and operations
commenced at that lecation on November 5, 1960.

A third source advised on May 1, 1967, that the wec
held its annual meeting of shareholders at the Roosevelt Hotel,
Seattle, on April 30, 1967. As a pari of the business at this
meeting, a report was made on the financial status of "Co-op
Books", 710 Stewart Street, Seattle, for the preceding year.

WORKERS WORLD PARTY

On April 17, 1959, @ confidential source advised

that on February 12, 1959, a Socialist Workers Party (SWP)
minority group under the leadership of National Committee
member SAM BALLAN, split from the SWP,

The source stated that this minority grouD,
referred to as the Marcyites, after many years of program
and policy differences on varied issues concerming tactics
and interpretation of political events, split from the SWP
on the grounds that the Party was liquidating itself by
departing from the Marxist precepts of LEON TROTSKY and
retreating from the fight for the world socialist
revolution. The final issue which ultimately forced the
split was the minority's opposition to the SWP regroupment
policy which involved cooperation with the Communist Party.
CP) periphery-individuals characterized by the minority
as petty-bourgeois.

The minority program, according to the source,
advocated unconditional defense of the Soviet Union and has
as its goal the building of a revolutionary party with a

complete proletarian orientation for the purpose of overthrowing

capitalism in the United States and throughout the world.

On May 12, 1960, source advised that this minority

group had chosen the name Workers World Party.

On May 1, 1967, a second con -fidential source

advised that the Workers World Party, which maintains head- .
quarters at 46 West 21st Street; New York, New York, supports ~

the People's Republic of China in its ideological dispute

with the Soviet Union,

The SWP and CP have been designated
pursuant to Executive Order 10450,

On April 18, 1968, | Sergeant LOVELY and Betective BOCK
advised that all information which had been developed by that

agency regarding the Brigade was concerned directly with the ‘
January warch on Washington and the Supporting local demonstration
in Chicago January 15, 1968. They had no knowledge that any
meetings or other activitics have bean held subsequent to that
time andvere of the opinion that the organization as a continuing
affair did not "get off the ground" in Chicago.

received at that time from numerous Chicago informants. These
and others in a poSition to learn of any Subsequent activity were

Women's National March on
the Pentagon, April 10, 1971

A confidential source, who has furnished reliable
information in the past, on March 10, 1971 made available
a four page folder captioned, "Women's National March On
The Pentagon April 10," sub-captioned, “defend the right-to
live.

This folder reflected women's disagreement with
the Nixon administration's policy in regards to Indochina,
and states, in part, as follows: -

"Our sisters in Vietnam have stretched forth a hand
to us. They are our example, We answer them with our strength
together, Women are marching against the Pentagoh on April
10. With dignity and rage we march against the American
Medical Association and its health system that cares nothing
about the health of the people. We march against the
partnership between police and organized crime, which makes
heroin a big business----- Silently endorsed by those who
‘govern us'!, We march against politicians, hustlers and
kickback men, whose corruption and crimes are paid for by the
people. We march against the injust court system, and for the
freeing of all political prisorrs."

"Grant's Tomb", a community newspaper, upper west
side, New York City (NYC) , March, 1971, Number 2 Issue, page
_ 10, contained an article captioned, "Women March on
Washington? This article reflected, in part, as follows:

"Out of the outrage against the war that was the unifying

force of the Ann Arbor conference, the women's cuucus decided

to channel our frustration into a public statement calling for

@ women's march on Washington, D.C. on April 10. We all felt

the urgency to show how we as women feel oppressed by the same

U.S. system that needs the dominance of men over women, white

over black, brown and,yellow,heterosexual over homosexual, and

over poor to support tre aggressive war policy that is killing

ow Vietnamese sisters and brothers,.---~--

"We are making this march one step in showing the
world our solidarity. as women with all our sisters in Vietnam
who are fighting for their lives. The Ccmmittee to Defend the
Right to Live, a South Vietnamese women's organization, has
called for our support."

The confidential source mentioned above on March
15; 1971, furnished information that on March 11, 1971, a
"women's meeting" was held at Washington Square Methodist
Church, 135 West 4th Street, New York, New York (NY).
Approximately 7O people were present, It appears to the source
that the Pentagon action April. 10th is being led by the same
women, in the Avomen's Union", who are planning the trip to ‘
y roronto, Canada win late METch, 1971. ‘The only decision arrived
at during the meeting, according to the source, was that on
At scheduled date, April 10th, there will be a march on the

Woments National March

Reference is made to New York memorandum
dated March 16, 1971.

On March 24, 1971, a source, who has furnished
reliable information in the past, advised that on March 22,
1971, a "Committee for April 10" held a meeting at the Law
Commune Office, 640 Broadway, New York City (NYC), which
was attended by 30 to 40 females. It was learned that a
woman from the New York (NY) group was already in Washington,
D.C. working with others there to arrange permits, speakers,
et cetera, for the womenS march on the Pentagon on April 10,
1971. It was stated that it was easier to obtain a permit
for a march from the Justice Department to the Pentagon,
than from the Pentagon to the Justice Department, but that
no permit had been obtained as yet. It was pointed out that
a march from the Pentagon to the Justice Department was
preferred as there would be less chance of losing marchers
en route to the Justice Department than from marching
from the Justice Department to the Pentagon. It was stated
that no buses had been chartered at NY, but is was hoped that
15 buses would be needed. .

Law Commune

On September 16, 1969, a second source, who

has furnished reliable information in the

past, advised that the Law Commune is not an

organization in the usual sense of the word.

It is rather @ law firm comprised of a group

of lawyers interested and sympathetic to the

New Left and Black Power organizations, and who

counsel and defend individuals in these groups

as the occasion arises. They likewise permit

their premises to be used on occasion as a meeting
‘ place for these organizations and distribute

some of their literature.

On March 25, 1971, the second advised that as of
now there is much confusion over the mechanical aspects of
the Women's National March on April 10, 1971, and that the
people in Washington, D.C, will make the ultimate decision
regarding the xoute of the march. The source stated that
in NY, information concerning buses for Washington, D.C.
will be available at the Upper West Side Women's Center,
627 Amsterdam Avenue, NYC, telephone number 874-6696.

On March 24, 1971, the second source made available
@ piece of literature sent out by the "April 10 Women's
Committee" concerning the national women's march on the
Pentagon on April 10. This literature contained in part as
follows:

"we are going to the Pentagon on April 10 to
serve notice on our enemies that women are moving against
them. Our urgency and our fury at the expansion of the
Indochinese war and our rage at the repression of our black
and brown sisters and brothers needs expression right now.
We are joining with other women to struggle for the everyday
things we need and against whatever and whoever prevents us
from getting them. ,

"We need and want our sisters around the country
to build for this action in their own ways, and to communicate
with: other sisters their ideas, suggestions and criticisms.
Thistis a temporary contact list which came out of the Ann
Arbor Conference:

Women's National March
on the Pentagon, April 10, 1971

Reference is made to New York (NY) memorandum
dated March 26, 1971.

On March 30, 1971, a source, who has furnished
reliable information in the past, advised that on March
26, 1971, a "Committee for April 10" had a meeting at
the McIntosh Student Union, Barnard College, New York City
(NYC), to plan and organize for the Women's March on the
Pentagon on April 10, 1971. The meeting was attended by
30 individuals and had no chairman,

The source stated that at the above meeting, two
representatives,man and wife, from an "Action Committee"
on certain islands near Okinawa, planned a march on April
10, 1971 in Washington, D.C, to protest giving over to
Japan what they feel to be Chinese islands. This march is
to begin at 1:00 p.m. at the Washington Monument, up
Massachusetts Avenue to the State Department, and possibly
oh to the Japanese Embassy. Support of the women's group
was requested; however, after the two left the meeting, the
"Committee for April 10" decided not to support the Chinese
march on the grounds that they were too "liberal,"

Women's National March on
the Pentagon, April 10, 1971

The source advised that at the above meeting, it
. was stated that no permit had been obtained as yet for the
Women's March on the Pentagon on April 10, 1971. It was
stated that the march will proceed from a "grassy spot" at the
Justice Department at noon, past the Bureau of Indian Affairs,
Department of the Interior, Department of Labor and on to
the Pentagon, An hour at each end of the march would be
allowed for speakers, though the group doubted they would use
it. Guerrilla theatre activity by participating groups in
front of the various government buildings was discussed and-
encouraged, though specifics were not mentioned.

The source stated that at the above meeting, copies
of a letter to Madame Binh, head of the Vietcong delegation
to the Paris peace talks and the North Vietnamese in Paris,
were passed out, describing the purpose of the April 10 march.
This letter is get forth as follows:

"March 25, 1971
"Dear Mme. Binh,

"On April 10, many of us American women will be
marching on the Pentagon. You know already of the other
actions being planned here against the war. As women, we
are coming out from separate cities and roles, trying to
create reality out of what we once held looked up in ow
imaginations. In marching on the Pentagon, we are joining with
all people inside and outside of Amerika, who fight against
Amerika's attempt to control us.

"We've been conditioned so long to accept Amerika's
definition of us as weak, passive, and powerless, and to deny
all our feelings of love and strength, that it has been a
struggle for us to turn towards each other and fight for our
freedom,

"Your own long struggle in Indochina, and the struggle
of Third World people here at home, awakened us to the
destruction that Amerikan power represents all over the world,
Your many victories against that power have been an inspiration
to us. But it-wasn't until we joined together to examine and
share our own experiences as women in Amerika that we saw

at the same time that we work to build day care centers, health

STUDENTS FOR A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY

Students for a Democratic Society, commonly
known as SDS, came into existence at a founding convention
held during June, 1962, at Port Huron, Michigan. From an
initial posture of "participatory democracy," Marxist-
-Leninist ideology of various shadings became predominant
during 1968-1969 with debate centering on how best to create
a revolutionary youth movement. SDS moved from involvement
in the civil rights struggle to an anti-Vietnam war position
to advocacy of a militant anti-imperialist line linking up
the oppressed peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America
with the black liberation movement in the United States.
All major factions within SDS embrace Marxism-Lenism
and identify internationally with China, Cuba and North
Vietnam as countries leading the worldwide struggles
against the United States. However, the Soviet Union
was regarded as imperialist end with the Communist Party,
United States of America, "r: visionist" in nature.

SDS operated under a national constitution which
called for an annual Nationa. Convention (NC) and quarterly
National Council meetings wherein programs were initiated
and debated. Three national officers were elected annually
with a National Interim Committee to run the organization.
Regional offices and college chapters elected delegates to
the national meetings but each functioned independently on
iocal matters. Its official publicition "Fire" (formerly
"New Left Notes") last appeared in december, 1969.

Internal factionalism of serious proportions
developed during 1968 - 1969 and tie following three factions
evoived as a result of a split at *he June, 1969, NC:
Weatherman, Worker Student Alliance (WSA), and Revolutionary
Youth Movement (RYM). The effect of the split on SDS chapters
throughout the country was divisive. Some aligned with one
or the other of the three major factions. Others, unable to
identify with any faction, disassociated with SDS completely
and changed names.

The SDS national office in recent years was
located at 1608 West Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois. Tt
was closed in February, 1970.

WEATHERMAN

Initially called the “Action Faction," Weatherman
¢ came into being immediately before the dune, 1969, Students
for a Lemocratic Society (SDS) National Convention (NC).
At this NC Weatherman won all three national officer positions
and a majority of the National Interim Committee as well.
Subsequently, they took over the SDS National Office (NO)
in Chicago, and controlled its funds, paper and national
records. Although internal struggle existed until late 1969,
Weatherman for all major purposes controlled SDS nationally
. from June, 1969, until its LO closed in February, 1970. At
soo this time it no longer considered itself part of SDS.

The term Weatherman emerged from an ideological
paper prepared by its leaders entitled “You Von't Weed a
Weatherman to Know Which Way the Wind blows" ("New Left
Notes" June 18, 1969). This statement outlined the basic
| - stance of Weatherman: Harxist-Leninist in content but with
a strong advocacy that action not theory would bring about
vos revolution in the United States. WVhis posture was complemented
” with an international identification to the Cuban revolution
and CASTRO's statement that the duty of a revolutionary is
to make revolution.

During October, 1969, Weatherman riots in
Chicago resulted in more than 260 arrests for mob action
and related charges. A program of armed struggle was
finalized during a December, 1969, "War Council" wherein
terrorist tactics and political assassination were
contemplated. The basic strength of Weatherman was then
revealed to be some 300 - 350 nationally and geographically
apportioned to the Midwest, New York, and some Northwest.

As its rhetoric of violence escalated, Weatherman
leaders increasingly discussed the necessity of an underground
operation wherein more than 90 percent of the organization
would be submerged; "affinity groups" of three - five members
would function independently. In February, 1970, Weatherman
leaders announced a program of “strategic sabotage" with
police and military installations as primary targets.

In February, 1970, Weatheruan abandoned the
SDS NO, 1608 West Madison Street, Chicaco, Tllirnois, and
throughout the country ertersd an un erecreund status.

WORKER STUDENT ALLIANCE/
PROGRESSIVE LABOR PARTY

A source advised during August, 1969, that at
the National Convention (NC} of Students for a Democratic
Society (SDS) held in Chicago, {llinois, during June, 1969,
a split arose between the Progr2ssive Labor Party (PLP) and
the National Office (NO), the N) becoming known as the
Weatherman faction. The PLP faztion drew the largest
support among those in attendanze at the NC.

Source further advisei that during late Summer,
1969, the PLP faction of SDS established its National
Headquarters (NH) on the second floor of a loft-type
building at 173A Massachusetts Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts.
The campaign on which the PLP faction centered was to build
a worker student alliance or a campus worker student
alliance. Thus, they adopted the names of Worker Student
Alliance (WSA) or Campus Worker Student Alliance.

Source stated that the "New Left Notes,” printed
in New York City, is the official publication ef the WSA
faction.

A second source advis2d during January, 1970,
that within the SDS, the WSA is a caucus of which the PLP
constitutes the leadership.

A third source adviseil during July, 1970, that
during demonstrations staged ir the Boston area during the
Spring and Summer of 1970 by tre NH, the main theme of
previous demonstrations staged oy the NH shifted from
protestations of the Vietnam War and other United States
foreign policy matters to attac cing domestic issues such
as racism and unemployment and jiemonstrating support of
the "“workers' struggle."

Characterizations of the SDS
and PLP are set out s sparately.

A source advised that the Revolutionary Youth
Movement II (RYMII) faction of Students for a Democratic
Society (SDS) held a national conference at Atlanta, Georgia,
from November 26 to 30, 1969, At this conference it was
decided to form a new organization to be known as Revolutionary
Youth Movement (RYM), characterized as a mass anti-imperialist
youth organization, said organization being proposed as
separate and distinct in form and content from SDS. The
"principles of Unity" adopted by the conference included a
struggle against white supremacy and male supremacy: fights
against imperialism, anticommunism, fascism and oppression
of youth: and support of the right of self-determination of
all "oppressed nations," also support of the right of all
“oppressed and exploited" peoples “to armed self-defense."
It was agreed that RYM would not be a Marxist-Leninist
organization; however, source said this was decided in order
to indicate an organization broad enough in form to be
acceptable to everyone. A temporary National Steering
Committee (NSC) made up of eight females and two males was
elected to govern RYM until national officers could be
elected during the Spring of 1970.

RYM publications have listed the RYM National Office
(NO) at Post Office Box 5421 and Post Office Box 77012 Cc,
both Atlanta, Georgia, and a second source has advised that
the NO has no office space but would probably be considered as
located at Apartment 27, 1067 Alta Avenue, Northeast, Atlanta.

Second source advised that women dominated the
founding conference and have continued to dominate NSC
meetings to the point that "women's liberation" has apparently
become the RYM's principal issue ~- also that RYM's poor
financial condition has resulted in its failure to publish
a paper. During early 1970, RYM has decided to cater to
the working class rather than youth, since the potential for
social revolution lies in workers.

A third source has stated that it was decided at
the March, 1970, NSC meeting that RYM women had decided the
organization will be molded into a “working class, Marxist-
Leninist, revolutionary, anti-imperialist, problack
nationalist, people's women's liberation organization."

A characterization of the SDS
is set out separately.

PROGRESSIVE LABOR PARTY

The "New York Times" city edition Tuesday,
April 20, 1965, Page 27, reported that a new party of
"revolutionary socialism" was formally founded on April 18,
1965, under the name of the Progressive Labor Party (PLP),
which had been known as the Progressive Labor Movement,

According to the article, "The Progressive Labor
Movement was founded in 1962, by MILTON ROSEN and MORTIMER
SCHEER after they were expelled from the Communist Party of
the United States for assertedly following the Chinese
Communist line."

A source advised on June 3, 1968, that the PLP
held its Second National Convention in New York City, May 31,
to June 2, 1968, at which time the PLP reasserted its
objective of the establishment of a militant working class
movement based on Marxism-Leninism.

The source also advised that at the Second National
Convention, MILTON ROSEN was unanimously re-elected National
Chairman of the PLP and LEVI LAUB, FRED JEROME, JARED ISRAEL,
WILLIAM EPTON, JACOB ROSEN, JEFFREY GORDON and WALTER LINDER
were elected as the National Committee to lead the PLP until
the next convention.

The PLP publishes “Progressive Labor," a bimonthly
magazine, and "Challenge-Desafio," a monthly newspaper,

Source advised on May 25, 1970, that the PLP
utilizes an address of General Post Office Box 808, Brooklyn,

New York, and also utilizes an office in Room 617, 1 Union
Square West, New York, New York.

Boston file 100-38735 entitled "EVAN PATCHEN
DELLINGER, aka PATCH DELLINGER; SM - ANARCHIST (BUFILE
100-450988)"' reflected that DELLINGER was subject of
Boston investigation based on his participation in a
"“Teach-In" and Rededication Service on 1/29/68 at the
Arlington St, Church, Boston. During the above activity,
DELLING 3ER made a statement in support of the "Resistance
Group" and turned in what was reported to be Selective .
Service cards..

The primary function of the Resistance Group
was to aid, abet, and counsel young men faced with the.
draft, :

EVAN PATCHEN DELLINGER graduated from Swarthmore
College, Swarthmore, Pa., on 6/6/66 majoring in economics.
He was arrested at Chester, Pa. on 4/1/64 and was charged
with disorderly conduct.

The 1968-69 Harvard University Directory of
Officers and Students reflected that DELLINGER was enrolled
in the School of Medicine, Harvard University, Cambridge,
Mass,

It had been reported that PATCH DELLINGER was
present at a Socialist Workers Party (SWE) Street Meeting
in New York City on 7/21/64,

The file further disclosed that inasmuch as the
Boston office had no current information associating DELLIN-
GER with the SWP or the Young Socialist Alliance and that
his activities on behalf of the New England Resistance were
pacifist in nature, it was felt that DELLINGER did not
warrant inclusion on the Security or Agitator Indexes main-
tained at that time;and thus, the case was placed in a closed
status,

BS 100-44951

A xeview of Boston file 25-25585 (Bufile 25-569484)
reflected that DELLINGER was also subject of investigation
based on his participation in the previously mentioned
Rededication Services at the Arlington St. Church in Boston
on 1/29/68 at which 23 individuals turned in either a
Notice of Classification and/or a Registration Certificate.
Two other individuals turned in some other type of document.
It was determined that DELLINGER had turned in a Selective
Service Registration Certificate and two Notices of Classi-
fication issued by LB #28, Flemington, New Jersey. Also,

a two-page statement signed PATCHEN DELLINSER supporting
the Resistance movement was turned in,

In April, 1972, AUSA, Boston declined any prosecu-.
tion concerning DELLINGER,

On 8/21/72, personnel of the Office of the Mass,
Commissioner of Probation, Suffolk County Courthouse, Boston,
a central repository for all traffic and criminal conviction
records within the Commonwealth of Mass., advised that their
files contain no record identifiable with CHARLES WELCH,
WENDY SOBEL, or EVAN PATCHEN DELLINGER.

A review of the 1972 Police Listines for the
cities of Melrose and Boston revealed the foilowing informa-
tion:

Left" organizations, yet it espouses no opinions of its own,
As long as their fee is met, they will print what is

Re WFO report of SA JERRY M. GRAVES, 12/13/72, and ’

WFO letter to Bureau, 1/31/73. ;

On 3/6/73, tNFORMANT advised that for all intents
and purposes the "Furies" organization and collective have
ceased to function. There are no plans to publish another
newspaper, and most of-the members have left to pursue their
own interests.

As révorted in re WFO revort, investigation of this
case did not reflect any activities on the part of the "Furies".
that would be consideréd revolutionary or subversive:

The "Furies" newspaper ceased publication in August,
1972, and did not espouse a radical revolutionary line.

| In view of the above, this case is being closed.

WrO will remain alert for information regarding any vossible
future activity on the part of the “Furies"™, and will revort
same at that time. +3 |

DEMONSTRATIONS, WASHINGTON, D. C., AND

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, NOVEMBER 20, 1971,
SPONSORED BY 'THE- WOMEN'S NATIONAL ABORTION
AC TION COALITION ..

This memorandum advises of demonstrations being scheduled in
Washington, D. C., and San Francisco, California, on 11/20/71 to build
public support for the repeal of antiabortion laws. .

The Women's National Abortion Action Coalition was formed at a
conference held at Columbia University, New York City, in July, 1971, which
was attended by approximately 1,000 women from 29 states. The conference
voted to make a woman's right to abortion a national and political issue.
Subsequent to Yits’ formation, the coalition called for demonstrations in 4
San Francisco and Washington on 11/20/71 to build public support for the Z.
repeal of all antiabortion laws, to protest forced sterilization, andto call ~
for an end to restrictive contraceptive laws. A source of the Washington
Field Office has advised that the march in Washington is supported by the

(SWP). Carol/A.ipman, who is a member of the SWP, is Project Director ~~ ~~~
of the Washington march.

Coalition leaders in requesting permit for the demonstration have
jestimated that participation in the Washington march will range between
110,000 and 20,000 persons. The Washington Field Office has developed

information that 46 buses have been chartered to bring participants to the

demonstration. Participants will represent some 80 cities. The Metropolitan

Police pear me anticipates participation will be in the vicinity of of By 2200 persons
=f if ; Pe rae ae oan

We have included all pertinent information concerning this

march in our summary teletype to The White House, the Vice President,

Secret Service, the Attorney General, and military intelligence agencies.

There have been no traffic restrictions placed in effect
: by the Metropolitan Police Department to date. However, this would be
a later consideration as the date of the march approaches.

It appears that the route of march will definitely affect
traffic on Saturday morning. S De ‘

WOMEN'S NATIONAL ABORTION
ACTION CCALITICN (WONAAC
SPONSORED DEMONSTRATION
November 20, 1971

Washington, D. C.

The WONAAC is self-described in its literature

ite

as being formed by the national conference of
more than 1,000 women held in New Yors City,
New York, in July 1971. At that conference,
women from 29 states and 253 organizations came
tozetner to unite their efforts in the national
fignt for the repeal of all abortion laws and
for the corollary demands of no forced sterilization
and repeal of contraception laws. The conference

. called for a massive show cf force for these goals
in a march on Washington, D.C., and San Francisco,
California, November 20, 1971. WONAAC is based
on a program of legislative, judicial, and
mass demonstration activities on a local and.
national level, and seeks to unite all women in
the fignt for the right of abortion.

The September 22, 1971, issua cf the "Los Ang T
a newspaper of general circulation published daily in I. Es
California, contains an article on pase 0, part IV, dat d
Washington, D. C., entitled "Abortion March Mobilizing", which

article states in vart as follows:

"Women from 253 organizations across the country
are mobilizing for mass demonstrations here
(Washington, D. C.) and in San Francisco in
November to support the complete repeal of all
abortion laws.

"Phese trouns, which fgoined in July (1971)

to form the Women's National Abortion Action
Coalition (WONAAC), are organizing a march
Rov. @5 (1971) in Washington planned to take
them past the White House, the Supreme Court
and the Capitol--institutions wnich they feel
can effect significant changes in existing
abortion laws. They are expecting what they
call a conservative estimate of between
19,099 -20 , 000 persons, but are hoping for thousands
more.

On November 10, 1971, source one made available the
following leaflet issued by the Los Angeles Women's Abortion
Action Committee (LAWAAC), an affiliate of the WONAAC,
and annoucing a demonstration to be held November 20, 1971,
at San Francisco, California, to vrotest abortion laws and
forced sterilization and restrictive contraception laws.

RE: WOMEN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE OF MARYLAND
INTERNAL SECURITY ~- COMMUNIST
(TROTSKYIST )
a) On November 13, 1971, @ source advised that the

Women's National Abortion Coalition (WONAAC) planned to
hold demonstrations at Washington;~D. C. and San Francisco,
California on November 20, 1971. The purpose of the ,
demonstrations were to call for the repeal of ail abertion,
contraception and forced sterilization laws. Thé°Women's
Right to Choose of Maryland, the Baltimore, Maryland
affiliate of WONAAC was to organize busing and housing
arrangements for out-of-state women.

On November 22, 1971, &@ source advised that the
Women's Right to Choose of Maryland, working from 3028
Greenmout Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland, were unsuccessful
in attempts to generate enthusiasm for the WONNAC demonstration
among Baltimore area women. Therefore, the plan to charter
a bus for the purpose of transporting demonstrators to the
Washington, D. C, rally was cancelled,

On November 30, 1971, a second source advised
that the Women's Risht to Choose of Maxvyland had been
formed as an “ad hoc” group for the specific purpose of
supporting the Novenber 20, 1971 Washington, D. C. demonstra-
tion. The source furtner staved tnat tne Women's Right '
to Choose of Maryland ceased to exist, following this i
demonstration, and is new cefunct. j

Re: Women's National Abortion Action
Coalition (CWONAAC) Convention,
February 11 - 138, 1972
Boston, Massachusetts

On February 18, 1972, source, who has furnished
reliable information in the past, furnished the following
information:

A Women's National Abortion Action Coalition
(WONAAC) Convention was held on the Boston University campus,
Boston, Massachusetts, during the period of February 11 ~
13, 1972.

Approximately 1,000 persons were in attendance
at this convention which was held to determine future action
of WONAAC and to allow diverse factions within the Women's
Abortion Movement to join ranks under one issue,

Female members of the Socialist Workers Party (Su?
and Young Socialist Alliance (¥SA) from all over the county
were requested by the national office of the SWP and YSA
to attend this convention in order to insure the effective
control of the convention by the SWP,

As the youth organization of the Socialist

Workers Party (SWP) , ‘the’ Young Sdcialist Alliance: 0-# athe

C(¥SA) serves as the main sSoarcze of recruitment
into that organization. The YSA is described
in the masthead of its official publication,
"The Young Socialist Organizer," as "A multi-
national revolutionary socialist youth organi-
zation,"

, “The SWP has been designated pursuant to
Executive Order 10450.

CONFIDENTIAL

Re: WONAAC

The SWP specifically wished the convention to
adopt a one-issue position, that being the complete
control of the female body by the individual female,
This specific issue, "women control their bodies" was
adopted by the women's orzanization and all other propo-
sals were rejected.

Workshops were organized for each of the many
separate racial and ethnic groups represented at the
conference, Workshops were based on appeal to the speci-
fic group intended and all were supposedly controlled by
the SWP,

A Black, Raza, Asian-American women's workshop
was held on February 12, 1972, with 35 persons attending.
Among the issues discussed at the workshop were the
attempts of democratic and republican presidential candi-
dates to capitalize on minority group attitudes in regard
to the abortion movement and the fact that minority groups
all to often find themselves without a voice when real
issues are involved,

Of particular importance to the group was the
La Raza Unida Party, a legitimate political party in Texas
which serves to unite Mexican Americans, Of equal impor-
tance was the Gay Liberation Movement, which the group
felt expresses the plight of gay females who do not want
children and are forced to live with men because of the
mores of American society.

Attendees agreed that the one issue of abortion |
law.repeal will serve-to unite-worsn under-one batner-and’-”
more effectively serve the Yoren's Movement.

The convention adjourned after an agreement that
an "Abortion Action Week" would be held May 1 - 6, 1972,
This action would serve to keep public attention focused
on the need to legalize abortion and to seek effective
support from the many thousands of women who want to right
to choose,

City, New York, July 16-18, 1971. This conference called for
national demonstrations to be held en November 20, 1971, in

WDC and San Franciseo, California, around the theme of ''Repeal

of All Abortion Laws."
(WP T-1, 7/21/71)

a. On November 20, 1971, approximately 1,500 women,
representing womens liberation groups from the East Coast and
Mid-West, gathered om the Ellipse in V9C, in ressense to the
call by WONAAC to march on the United States Capitol to demand
the reveal of all abortion laws, This grouv devarted the
Ellipse at approximately 10:30 a.m. on that date and marched

along Pennsylvania Avewe, NW, to tie west sice of tie Capitol.

and the demonstration ended without incident.

(Physical observation, Special
Agents, FBI, 1/13/72)

2. Second WONAAC Conference was held in Boston,
Massachusetts, February 11-13, 1972. Approximately 1,300
women attended the conference, which once again re-established
and reiterated WONAAC's call for abortion on demand. It was
noted during the conference that WONAAC had been unable to
create anything like a national campaign and that local meetings

pointed out that WONAAC had failed to attract the large numbers
of working women, housewives, and students concerned with the
abortion issue, including the majority of women's liberationists
and abortion reform activists. It was felt that the movement
could not succeed without the support of the working women.

‘At the close of the conferere, WONAAC strongly endorsed
the "Abortion Rights Act of 1972,'' wnich\is to be introduced in
the U. S. Congress by Congresswoman BELLA \ABZUG from New York.
This bill would override all laws which impose sanctions upon ” ok
those who choose to exercise their individual right to an abortion.

(WF T-1, 2/14/72)

a. Proposed Actions

‘It was moved and adopted during the above conference. -.7>
1972, consisting of educational programs, legislative support,
judicial action, and culminating in local or regional demonstra-
tions on May 6, 1972, around the demand for repeal of all anti-
abortion laws and restrictive contraception laws and an end to
forced sterilization.

(WF T-1, 2/14/72)

In addition, the following secondary pronosals were
adopted during the conference:

Action Coalition (WONAAG)

On March 23, 1972, NY T+1 advised that on
March 19, 1972, it was announced & a meeting of the Upper West
Side Branch of YSA, New York City, that a meeting was being
held at the WONAAC Office, to discuss the plans for the
May 1-6, abortion action week rally.

On April 13, 1972, Agents of the FBI observed
four women, representing WONAAC, enter the office of New York
Governor Rockerfeller where they presented an aide with a
petition demanding that Medic-aid payments be permitted to~
be used for abortions.

On April 16, 1972, Agents of the FBI observed
approximately sixty individuals representing WONAAC,
counter-demonstrate in the vicinity of 86th Street and Fif
Avenue against a parade sponsored by the Knights of Colunbus
who were “marching in support of the repeal of all abortion

aws.

On April 19, 1972, NY T-2, who has furnished
reliable information in the past, advised that SWP members
representing WONAAC proposed to demonstrate at the Vatican
Embassy, Apostalic Delegate to the United States, in
Washington, D.C.

On April 21, 1972, NY T-1 advised that on .

- March 22, 1972, a WONAAC meeting was held at the office of
WONAAC, 150 Fifth Avenue, New York City. There were
approximately 21 individuals at this meeting. The meeting
consisted of a discussion of the route to be utilized on the
May 6, 1972 march and of the various ways money could be
raised; namely, sale of literature, cuttons, contributions, .

On page 4 of ‘the April 26, 1972 issue of the-°.-
ae: uardian" there was an article which -indicated that HONAAC.:
was sponsorig an abortion action week May 1-6. The demands
ares .

Action Coalition (WONAAC)

The “Guardian” is self-described as an
“independent radical newsweekly”™ which
takes a strong left position but is not
identified with any organized group.

It is considered to be the largest
radical weekly in America.

On May 6, 1972, a march and rally sponsored by
WONAAG was observed by Agents of the FBI. There were
approximately two thousand participants who were in support’
of the repeal of all anti-abortion laws. .

ReWForep of SA ARLAND A. MOSEL, 3/21/72.

For the information of the Bureau and New York,
_ /JK 372-S (former) and JK.337- ~CS advise that there is a
Ef omen" s~Lipération group “at the’ University of Florida,

Gainesville, Florida, which recently sponsored an |
Abortion Action Week rally, however, none of the
* individuals associated with this Women's Lib group are f
po connected with any subversive organizations such as | ~
. Young Socialist Alliance or Socialist Workers Party.

They are merely Women's Liberationists, who support
the repeal of all abortion laws.

In view of the above, no active investigation
is being conducted by the Jacksonville Division of the
Women's Liberation group at the University of Florida, as
there is no present indication they are connected and/or
interested in subversive activities.

The State University of New York at Binghamton
is part of the University system of the State of New York,
and the University at Binghamton has an enrollment of
approximately 7,500 students. The student newspaper
published at the University twice weekly during the school
year in its issue of 10/15/71 carried a brief ad in the
classified section as follows: .

“Women who have had abortions needed to relate
their experiences to other women, educate all women
about abortion at abortion speak out October 21. Contact
Linda i., extention 4130."

The 11/12/71, issue of the "Pipedream", student
newspaper published at the State University ‘of New York

at Binghamton, carries an announcement that the Binghamton

Womens Abortion Coalition was selling bus tickets. for the

Womens March on Washington for repeal of ail abortion laws,
repeal of all contraception laws and no force sterilization

for 11/20/71. Women and men were invited to attend and

tickets were on sale at the student center. Cars and

volunteers were needed and they were to contact LINDA’ LOEW

at extention 4129.

aPovitéE "AIM 3407-PSE;, who is familiar with New
Left activities on the campus of the State University of
New York at Binghamton was contacted regularly during the
school year of 1971-72 and he stated that he did see

activity or signs on any bulletin boards from the period
of approximately January, 1972 until school closed in
May, 1972. This source was contacted 5/16/72. He stated
also at that time, that LINDA LOEW has been a close
associate of BETTY SACHS who is the leader of the Young
Socialist Alliance Chapter on campus at the University.
Informant stated that there was no organization formed to
his knowledge of a Womens | Abortion Action Coalition in
the Binghamton area. |

Lo . .

Other sources familiar with New Left activities
on the campus of the State University of New York at
Binghamton, were contacted during May, 1972, and two
sources advised that they knew of no organization of
Womens Abortion Action Coalition on the campus or in the
Binghamton vicinity during the past year.

Albany Division has had an investigation pending
on LINDA LOEW and a report is being written with appropriate
recommendation for administrative action on LINDA LOEW.
In view of the lack of activity of an Abortion Coalition
organization in the Binghamton area, no further investigation
is being conducted by Albany.

Recent reports concerning SWP/YSA faction work
within BOWAAC.discliose thet, as previously occurad with
the Party's work within FL, these in the Party faction
have apparentiy alienated chensalves from the other
females active in BOWASC and for the most part have lost
any support from others not in the Party fnotion. any

. stgvestions now offered by those of the Party faction in -. .
BOWWAC, which comprises approximately half of the activisé 8
in the group, are no longer acceptad, cause considzrable
argument and there is evidence of "red baiting", As a
result, the Farty faction does not now believe that they
can . build _ BOWAAC jmto any successful supporter type

The "Boston Globe", a daily newspaper published
in Boston, in its February 13, 1972-edition, carried an
article entitled "Abortion Strategy Discussed" which in
part reported that more than 800 women from across the
country had gathered for a conference at Boston University
the weekend of February 11-13, 1972 to plan a strategy
to win repeal of all laws that prohibit abortion. Accord
ing to the article, it was expected that the conference
would endorse the latest Federal bill to nullify all

..state laws restricting abortion = "The Abortion Rights

4ot of 1972", to be introduced by United States Congress=
woman BELLA ABZUG from New York. The article reported
thet discussion at the conference had centered around
whether or not to adopt the slogan "Free Abortion on
Demand; No Forced Sterilization" or to focus on a

single issue - repeal of the abortion laws. It further
reported that s proposal was presented for an Abortion
Action Week, Mey 1 to 6, 1972, to include educational pro-
grams, legislative support, judicial action and local or

regional demonstrations centering around the demand for

repeal of all anti-abortion and anti-contraception laws
and an end to. forced sterilization.

coordinator of BOWAAC, was reported to havea stated that

maximum mumber of persons present at any cae time dure _

The workshops primarily related to the building of WONAAC
throughout the United States, fund raising and regional
work, with ideas being exchanged between individuals
attending from varisus areas of the cowtry, including
Boston. The major theme appeared to be how to strengthen
awareness of WONAAC, which was reportedly in need of
financial support. Literature tables were set up on the
periphery of the workshops and among organizations iden-
tified with the tables was the YSA.

Re: Vincent Hallinan

Vincent Hallinan was candidate for President
of the United States on the Independent Progressive Party
ticket in 1952. This party was formed in California in 1948
and ceased to exist in 1954, when it failed to poll sufficient
votes to remain on a California ballot. The California
Senate Fact-Finding Committee on Un-American Activities in
its 1955 report on page forty-six, states in part that the
Independent Progressive Party in California was quickly
captured by the communists and soon was being operated lock,

YOU CANNOT Have
WARS WITHOUT -
- WOMEN

Women must use their minds, their voices, and
their bodies to stop the killing in Vietnam; to do
less is to ignore our special responsibilities to
the human race,

* 110,000 women have sat back and let their sons

be killed in Vietnam, If we had 10,000 women
willing to go to jail if necessary we could stop
the war in Vietnam. You cannot have wars with-
out women," ;

Jeannette Rankin made the above statement in
May of this year, Fifty years ago, as the first
woman elected to Congress, she voted against
World War I. She has consistently maintained
her struggle for peace, and at 86 she is as coura
geous and vigorous as ever--an inspiration to all
women,

The presence of the United States forces in the in}
ernal struggle of Vietnam is immoral and illegal.
There can be no possible justification for our inte
ference in the domestic affairs of this tiny distant
land.

This 86-year-old woman has stated that she is wil
ing to stay in jail until the bombing is stopped. N
all women are free to join her, but we can assure

beside her. Some will picket, others will go to je
with Miss Rankin. Every woman's participation i
equally valuable. We are confident each one will
the maximum of which she is capable.

On January 8th, women from all over the land wil
converge on Washington to demand the end of this
dishonorable war. We shall come as individuals,
or as organizations, but we shall join together as
concerned women under the aegis of Jeannette Ra:

BRIGADE FORMED TO CONFRONT CONGRESS

Helena, Montana
November 27, 1967

To all American Women:

I am proud of the fact that my first
vote cast in Congress was a vote
against war. It was the first oppor-
unity for a woman to vote, because I
was the first woman to be elected to
Congress.

I believed then, as I do today,
that women are the ones that must be
concerned with the needs and develop-
ment of the human race. JI have always
fought for the dignity of all human
baings - for those of the present as
well as those of future generations.

I will continue to struggle as long
as I live. I hope all women will res-
pond to the following call and join me
in Washington on January 8, 1968, the
opening day of Congress.

Jeannette Rankin

A CALL TO ALL AMERTCAN WOMEN who
are outraged by the ruthless slaughter
in Vietnam and the persistent neglect
of human needs at home TO COME TO
WASHINGTON ON JANUARY 8

AMERICAN WOMEN represent 51% of the
voting population of our country.
AMERICAN WOMEN have the power to a-
chieve peace and a decent life for
every American. This is woman power!

Demonstrate it to the Congress of the
United States! Come to Washington on
January 8 as Congress opens in joint
session. Support Jeannette Rankin as
she leads a representative delegation
of American women to the Capitol to
demand that:
SCongress, as its first order
of business, resolve to end
the war in Victnam and immedi-
ately arrange for the with-
drawal of ail American troops.
*CGongress use its power to make
reparations for the ravaged land
we leave behind in Vietnam.
*Congress listen to what the
American people are saying and
refuse the insatiable demands of
the military-industrial complex.

WOMEN OF AMERICA, our power is un-

limited. On January 8, American women
will: .

*PETITION the United States Con-

gress . . .
*CONVENE a Congress of American
Women that afternoon to develop

- programs to meet the crisis in
America - programs which will
express our political power,
reason and conscience.

For further information about the
Brigade, contact your nearest WSP
group or write to the Jeannette“Rarkin

Brigade, 133 ¥. 72, St. NvYy foogs.

a "Call" from the Jeannette Rankin Brigade (JRB) "To all
American women", announcing a proposed march on Washington,
D. C., on January 8, 1968, when the United States Congress
opens in joint session. This march would be to demand that
| . Congress, as its first order of business, resolve to end
| ‘ the war in Vietnam and immediately arrange for the with-
drawal of all American troops. (A xerox duplication of the
first page of the above-mentioned December 1967 issue of
"Ta Wisp", containing this "Call", is appended to this
memorandum, )

The partial list of JRB sponsors included in this
issue of the "La Wisp", contained the names of only two
women presently active in the Southern California area,
Mary Clarke (see characterization of her in the apvendix
page on WSP), and motion picture actress Leslie Parrish.

Source One has advised that Parrish has only
recently become interested in activities of WSP and has
attended less than five WSP activities. Source Two reported

"peace conference" in Helsinki, Finland, at the
invitation of the Communist Party (CP), and that

the Helsinki affair she went on to Russia for ten

Source One learned that a communication was re-
ceived from eastern sponsors of the JRB on December 7, 1967,
indicating that the JRB march on Washington might not be
held on January 8, 1968, but possibly would be set back until
either the 15th or 22nd of January 1968, depending upon
the date that the United States-Congress would reconvene.

The communication indicated that since the entire purpose .
of the Brigade would be to confront the opening joint session
of Congress that it would be futile to schedule the march
prior to the date Congress would reconvene. The suggestion
was made that recruitment of local women to participate in
the SRB be held in abeyance until a confirmation had been
obtained indicating the date on which Congress would reconvene.

a Source One, had indicated that although the "Cail",

. as reproduced in "Ta Wiso", states, "There WLll be local

4 SEATTLE WOMEN ACT FOR PEACE SWAP)

Ie

A source reported on May 17, 1962, a meeting of the
Ballard-Greenwood CP Club was held in Seattle, April 25, 1962, .
at which TAIMI HALONEN was nominated to be the new Chairman of
this Club. Along with other business of the evening, HALONEN
said she expected to devote a good portion of her time to SWAP;
an organization of peace forces that met recently with seven
members. She said four of the seven were from the "left" but
Gid not go into detail. She said the group had problems of an
organizational nature because it was new, and she thought she 7
could help. ‘

On April 5, 1963, a second source stated a meeting of
the University CP Club was held at Seattle on April 2, 1963.
KEN ROSE, a membér of the Club, reported the most influential
peace organization in Seattle was SWAP. .

Section Committee was held at Seattle. WILL PARRY, Section

Chairman, said attention should be placed on three political

questions - peace, civil rights, and labor. Under peace, he

said CP clubs should inject the Women Act for Peace campaign

into the election campaign. At another Section meeting,

February 5, 1966, TAIMI HALONEN was praised for effective

peace work and for her help in developing unity among the peace oe
forces. Section-wide concentration was urged in assisting

SWAP to visit 1,000 workers on the Vietnam issue. _

A third source advised on February ay, 1966; a
Northwest District CP Committee meeting was held at Seattle
February 12, 1966. After lunch, the entire group participated
in passing out leaflets pertaining to racial matters and the
Vietnam war which carried the name.of SWAP, 5411 Ravenna Avenue
Northeast, Seattle, Washington. 98105, which address has been
used consistently by SWAP and: is that of ANCI KOPPEL, also known
as Mrs. CHARLES KOPPEL, KOPPEL has been and continues to be
the coordinator and apparent prime motivating force of SWAP
as of May, 1967.

A fourth source reported in 1945
ANCI KOPPEL was a member of the

W.E.B. DU BOTS CLUBS OF AMERICA (DCA)
A A

A source advised that on October 26-27, 1963, a con-
ference of members of the Communist Party, USA (CPUSA) , including
National functionaries, met in Chicago, Illinois, for the purpose
of setting in motion forces for the establishment of anew national
Marxist -oriented youth organization which weule hunt for the most
peaceful transition to socialism. The delegates were told that it
would be reasonable to assume that the young socialists attracted
into this new organization would eventually pass into the CP

itself.

A second source has advised that the founding convention
for the new youth organization was held from June 49-21, 1964,
at 150 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, Califoeniza, at which
time the name W.E.B.DuBois Clubs of America (DCA) was adopted.
Approximately 500 delegates from throughout the United States
attended this convention.

The second source advised in Sept ember, 1966, that MIKE
ZAGARELL, CPUSA Youth Director, stated that in Negro communities
the Party still supported the plan to build "left® socialist
centers and to solidify the Party base through tne DCA. This
scurce also advised in Septewber, 1966 that DAN SL RUBIN, CPUSA
National Organizational Secretary, stated the Party believes
the DCA should have a working-class outlook and be a mass organiz-
ation favorable to socialism, socialist countries: and Marxism,
and in April, 1967, advised GUS HALL, CPUSA General Secretary,
had indicated the DCA primary emphasis should be on developing
mass resistance to the draft.

A third- source advised in September, 1967, that JARVIS
TYNER was elected chairman of the DCA on September 10, 1967, at
the Third National Convention of the DCA held in New York, New
York, from September 8-10, 1967.

A fourth source advised during August, 1967, that JARVIS
TYNER is a member of the National Committee of the CPUSA,

‘A fifth source advised on ‘September 21, 1367, that the

headquarters of the DCA is located at 34 West Lith Street , New
York, New York.

WOMEN FOR PEACE aka nee

Women Strike for Peace ne

The "Berkeley Daily Gazette," a daily newspaper of
general circulation published in Berkeley, California,
contained an article in the November 19, 1965,evening
edition reflecting that in November, 1961, when con-

cern mounted over radioactive fallout from nuclear
testing, a group of women in Washington, D. C. started
Women Strike for Peace. The idea spread rapidly through-
out the country and now embraces 900 groups, ineluding
Women For Peace groups in the San Francisco Bay area.

These groups support programs to achieve goals such as:

(1) Continued disarmament negotiations.
(2) A strong and flexible United Nations.

(3) Planning now at state and national levels for
conversion to peace-~time economy and positive
efforts to ease world tensions.

The women act as individuals and as a group, with specific
actions suggested by individuals and groups from all over
the world. Decision to participate jointly on any given
suggestion is democratly arrived at by members of the Co-
ordinating Committee. Effective cooperation with other
peace groups is encouraged. Monthly Coordinating Committee
meetines and general meetings, as warvanted, are open to
all and annecunced in mailings to memsers. There are no
dues or membership forms nor conditions for membership.

To stir an awareness of the need for peace, Yomen For
Peace encourage public education in peace objectives at
local schools and sponsor peace~oriented demonstrations
and public meetings, newspaper ads, billboards, and
candicates for public effiee. On the national level
the g-cup attempts to influence government officials

by letters and conferences.

District Education Commission, Communist Party of Eastern Pennsylvania and
Delaware (CPEPD), was held November 13, 1958 at 3425 Powelton Avenue, Phila-
delphia. At this meeting, DANIEL RUBIN, the District Education Director,
presented a proposal for a series of forums under the nominal sponsorship of
the Philadelphia Social Science Forwn Committee (PSSFC). The source stated
that PSSFC was merely a paper organization and this series of forums was
organized by the District Education Commission and had to be- approved by the
District Committee (CPEPD) before being put into effect.

“This source stated on June 12, 1959, November 5, 1959, and October 21,
1960 that the PSSFC remained under the control of the District Education
Commission, CPEPD.

A second source reported on October 9, 1941, that the District Execu-
tive Committee (DEC), CPEPD, met on October 2, 1961, and approved plans to hold
and to support a new series of forums of PSSFC beginning November 10; 1961, and
ending in May, 1962.

The second source cn May &, 1964, advised that the main purpose of the
PSSFC is to bring to Philadelphia well known speakers who -have a pro-Communist
point of view. Included among the speakers each ysar are national leaders of
the Communist Party, USA.

The second eource added on May 15, 1967 that the PSSFC continued to
meet during 1962 through 1967 and that it remains under the control of the CPEPD,

mothers, sisters, and widows of men killed in Vietnam,
HALLINAN desired WILLIAMS to furnish her with the names of
mothers and wives of men killed in Vietnam who felt their
loved ones should not have been there at all,

Dear Friend: ae

We are sending this letter to you and others from whom we have not heard much
recently, in the hope of re-enlisting your efforts in the Women for Peace

movement, It has been too long since we last heard directly from many of you,
and our meetings with those of you whom we have seen recently have been brief,

Of course, we know the paralyzing sense of frustration we all fee] occasionally,
as we learn of the mounting horrors in Victnam. But this feeling is only
temporary, and quickly gives way to activity. As women, we bear the major
responsibility for the preservation of life, and thus a major responsibility

in the peace movement,

mnclosed you will find an announcement of the latest national women's effort
for peace. Several peace groups in Portland are cooperating in raising funds
to send representatives to Washington. We hope that you will also support this
effort, to insure representaticn from Portland Women for Peace, The coupon

on the enclosed notice is for your use in this effort,

t .

In addition, we will have a supportive peaceful demonstration
in Portland at

NOON, Monday, JANUARY 15th

Pioneer Post Office

5th and Morrison
We are asking participants to wear black, and to bring a black
(or dark colored) umbrella, We shall carry the umbrellas opened,
rain or shine. Placards (to wear) and leaflets (to distribute),
expressing support for the Jeannette Rankin Brigade, will be
available. We shall. march around the Post Office block for one hour,

_from noon to 1 Pee 5 leafleting as we walk,

ibitio as nn Cie ate ALY. are hap 1c teh ese aha MAREE detorcrnnton

We hope, if you cannot go to Washington, yourself, that you will contribute to
-help someone else to go, and that you will also. Join ‘with: us 3t, the- Piorieer.”
Post’ Office-at noon Monday, January 15th. :

In addition, please let us hear from you on your ideas of what more we might
do locally, We have some ideas too, which we hope to share with you, and on
which we shall need much help,

- Please get in touch with one of us soon, Yon help, ideas, and efforts are
urgently needed.

Dear Friend:

We are sending this letter to you and olhers from whom we have not heard much
recently, in the hope of re-enlisting your efforts in the Women for Peace

movement, It has been too long since we last heard directly from many of you,
and our meetings with those of you whom we have seen recently have been brief,

Of course, we know the paralyzing sense of frustration we all feel occasionally,
as we learn of the mounting horrors in Vietnam. But this feeling is only
temporary, and quickly gives way to activity, As women, we bear the major
responsibility for the preservation of life, and thus a major responsibility

in the peace movement,

Enclosed you will find an announcement of the latest national women's effort
for peace, Several peace groups in Portland are cooperating in raising funds
to send representatives to Washington. We hope that you will also support this
effort, to insure representaticn from Portland Women for Peace, The coupon
on the enclosed notice is for your use in this effort,
t !
In addition, we will have a supportive peaceful demonstration
in Portland at
NOON, Monday, JANUARY 15th
Pioneer Post Office
5th and Morrison

We are asking participants to wear black, and to bring a black
(or dark colored) umbrella, We shall carry the umbrellas opened,
rain or shine, Placards (to wear) and leaflets (to distribute),
expressing support for the Jeannette Rankin Brigade, will be ~
available, We shall march around the Post Office block for one hour,
from noon to 1 p.m., leafleting as we walk,

ne hope, if you cannot go to Washington, yourself, that you will contribute. to
| help someone else to go, and that you will also join with us at the Pioneer
Fost Office at noon Monday, January 15th,

, in addition, please let us hear from you on your ideas of what more we might
| Go locally, We have some ideas too, which we hope to share with you, and on
‘which we shall need much help,

| Please get in touch with one of us soon. Your help, ideas, and efforts are
| urgently needed,

| Yours for Peace,

Source one advised that Joyce Angus is on the Executive
Committee of WSP.

Source three advised in July, 1955, that Mary Clarke
was dropped from Los Angeles County Communist Party
(LACCP) in the Spring of 1955 for personal reasons
and not for any political differences with LACCP.

Source one further reported that Glory Roberts of
Pacoima, California, who is editor of the "Social Action
Communicator", a monthly publication located in Pacoima,
California, recording secretary of the Peace Action Couneil (PAC)
(See Appendix), and representative to the PAC from the Black
Congress and vice versa, was selected as Chairwoman of a JRB
committee to reach into the black community to get participants
from the Black ghetto involved in the demonstration in
Washington, D.C. on January 15, 1968. Source one advised that
in order to do this, all the organizations comprising the
JRB will have to pledge money to get the women to Washington, D.C.
and back to Los Angeles, California.

Source one stated that three committees have been
established within the JRB. One of these committees has
been established to draw up a list of redress of grievances.
Each branch of the JRB throughout the nation will, when
gathered in Washington, D.C, as a main committee, decide
the major grievances and the redress of grievances will be
incorporated into a petition to be presented to Congress.

The second committee will be to involve the people in the
black community in the demonstration. The third committee is
to act as a coordinating committee.

- Source one further advised it was reported that
the women from Southern California will leave by plane on
Sunday, January 14, 1968 at approximately 10:90 A.M., arriving
Washington, D,C, at approximately 6:00 P.M. on the same date.

and other women making the trip will pay all their own
expenses. No expenses are contemplated while the women are

in Washington, D.C. inasmuch as arrangements have been made
for the women to stay with other WSP members in the
Washington, D.C. area. Source one advised that it is
contemplated all the women will stay in Washington, D.c. until
Tuesday, January 16, 1967.

Source one advised it was reported the women from
across the nation would gather at the Union Depot, Washington, D.C.
at 11:30 A.M. on January 15, 1968. Source one further reported
it is hoped ten thousand women will participate in the
demonstration. After the gathering at Union Depot, the women
will march in solemn procession, all wearing black, to the
steps of the capitol building where the petition containing
the redress of grievances will be presented to the Congress.
Source one further advised it had been reported that Representative
Me Cormick and Senator Mansfield had agreed to receive the
petition. Representative Me Cormick, according to source one,
had agreed to accept fifteen women in his office at which time
he would receive the petition, but source one advised the
JRB now wants Representative Mc Cormick and Senator Mansfield
to accept the petition on the steps of the capitol building
in order that they might get news coverage. After the petition
has been presented, the JRB wants the redress of grievances
read into the Congressional Record.

Further activities | of the JRB while in Wasnington, D.C.
are to includé a three hour "Women's Congress", possibly on the
grounds of Georgetown University.

Mary Clarke pointed out that although the original
intention had been to have only those women participate
in the JRB who were willing to risk arrest for civil disobedience,
she stated at the above meeting that no civil disobedience is
anticipated in view of the large number of organizations
participating who are opposed to such civil disobedience,
However, she further stated that individuals are not going to
be discouraged who might elect to create civil disobedience,

COMMUNIST INFILTRATION CF THE
FIRST UNITARIAN CHURCH OF LOS ANGELES

A source advised on May 22, 1967, that the
premises of the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, 2936
West 8th Street, Los Angeles, California, have been utilized
for meetings by Communist Party members and sympathizers over
& period of years. Speakers and lecturers at.the church
frequently espouse Communist causes or follow the Communist
Party line, Communist front group literature is distributed
at the church. The church is used by some Communist Party
members for "mass concentration” work.

This same infiltration extends to adjuncts of
the church such as the Unitarian Public Forum and -the Fellow-
ship for Social Justice, formerly known as the Unitarian-
Universalist Fellowship for Social Justice.

STEPHEN H. FRITCHMAN has been minister of the
church since 1948,

Reverend STEPHEN H. FRITCHMAN is described in
the Fourth Report, Un-American Activities Committee in
California, 1948, page 115, as a very active "Communist
fronter" and connected with numerous “Communist front organi-~-
zations and activities."

Membership in the First Unitarian Church does not,

of itself, connote membership in or sympathy with the Communist
Party.

DEMONSTRATION PROTESTING
UNITED STATES POLICY
"IN VIEINAM,
WASHINGTON, D. C,
JANUARY.15, 1968

A confidential source, who has furnished reliable
information in the past, advised on January 4, 1968, that
the Jeannette Rankin Brigade (JRB) with headquarters at
133 West 72nd Street, New York City, originally scheduled
a demonstration in Washington, D.C. on January 8, 1968, to
coincide with the opening of Congress. In view of the
fact that the reconvening of Congress was delayed until
January 15, 1968, the organization rescheduled the
demonstration for that date, The source stated that the
JRB is composed mostly of members of Women Strike for
Peace, a pacifist organization and is using the name of
the JRB only for this one affair,

The above source stated that individuals are to-
meet at Union Station in Washington, B.C., at approximately
11:30 a.m. on January 15, 1968, and then walk in a "silent
procession" to the United States Capitol. Literature sent
out by the local office of Women Strike for Peace indicate
that the women will assemble at Union Station at the above
time and "in solemn procession and wearing black, we will
walk to the Capitol steps behind our delegation who will
present our *"Women’s Petition to the Congress"* demanding
redress of grievances,"

According to the source, the group wanted to have
Speaker of the House McCormick and Senator Mansfield meet
them on the Capitol steps and accept the above mentioned
petition, Thereafter, the women would visit both the Senate
and the United States House of Representatives and confer

with individual Congressmen in their offices, These women

were to attempt to persuade Congressmen to lend their support

to end the war in Vietnam, The source indicated that the
organization had’ written to Speaker McCormick and Senator
Mansfield asking to be met on the Capitol steps but Speaker
McCormick had answered by stating that he could not meet —
them on the steps but he would be willing to receive a
delegation of ten to fifteen women in his office on that
date. The source stated that Senator Mansfield had not.
replied to their request. ,

- The source stated that some of the women in the
JRB want to commit acts of civil disobedience so that they
may be arrested but most of the individuals involved do
not think it advisable to commit acts of civil disobedience,
The source stated that at no time have any specific details
been mentioned as to the acts of civil disobedience which -
might be committed. The source stated that following the
visit to Congress, the women would like to hold a meeting
sometime between 2 p.m, and 6 p,m, at some logical site in
Washington, D.C. Source stated that negotiations are

under way to rent the D,C, Armory for that time and they.
have the money available for such rental but some of the
leaders object to a clause in the contract which would
allow the Armory to. cancel the reservation at -any time.

The source stated that negotiations are also underway

to rent a ballroom at the Shoreham Hotel.

According to the source, 3,000 women are expected
to participate in the above demonstration with most of them
coming by train from New, York City. The source stated that
SylviatLichtenstein has been ‘appointed coordinator of the
demons.tration, :

- ‘ A second source, who has furnished
reliable information in the past,
advised on July 10, 1951, that Sylvia
Lichtenstein was a ’ member of the Newspaper
Club of the Communist Party in the District
of Columbia from 1947 to 1950,

; Captain Robert Krahling, United States Capitol

Police, advised on January 3, 1968, that a delegation from

the IRB and their attorney, joseph YForer, met with officials

of the United States Capitol Police on January 2, 1968, | .;
concerning details of the proposed demonstration. These nl
individuals were advised by the United States Capitol Police .:

that they cannot demonstrate on the Capitol grounds in - tdi

a group or carry placards, as such activity is prohibited
by rules of Congress, Forer, as attorney for the group,”
advised the officials that these women will be coming to
the Capitol as individuals and although they will be walking
together they can only be kept out of the Capitol building

if the police exclude all visitors from the United States
Capitol, Forer argued that such a demonstration on the’
Capitol grounds is not a violation of the law by the
participants but a violation of the United States Government
in refusing to allow its citizens to present their grievances
to Congress.

Captain Krahling advised that in addition to
Joseph Forer, the members of the above delegation included
the following individuals:

WOMEN FOR PEACE aka
Women Strike for Peace

The "Berkeley Daily Gazette," a daily newspaper of
general circulation published in Berkeley, California,
contained an article in the November 19, 1965,evening
edition reflecting that in November, 1961, when con-

cern mounted over radioactive fallout. from nuclear
testing, a group of women in Washington, D. C. started
Women Strike for Peace. The idea spread rapidly through-
out the country and now embraces 900 groups, including
Women For Peate groups in the San Francisco Bay area.

These groups support programs to achieve goals such as:
(1) Continued disarmament negotiations.
(2) A strong and flexible United Nations. -

(3) Planning now at state and national levels for
conversion to peace-time economy and positive
efforts to ease world tensions.

The women act as individuals and as a group, with specific
actions suggested by individuals and groups from all over
the world. Decision to participate jointly on any given
suggestion is democratly arrived at by members of the Co--
ordinating Committee. Effective cooperation with other
peace groups is encouraged. Monthly Coordinating Committee
meetings and general. meetings, as warranted, are open to
all and announced in mailings to members, There are no
dues or membership forms nor conditions for membership.

To stir an awareness of the need for peace, Women For
Peace encourage public education in peace objectives at
local schools and sponsor peace-oriented demonstrations
and public meetings, newspaper ads, billboards, and
candidates for public office. On the national level
the group attempts to influence government officials

by letters and conferences.

CHICAGO COUNCIL OF AMERICAN-SOVIET
AMGLATIONS, Formerly known as Chicago
Vouncil of American-Soviet Friendship

EDWIN GORDON. FOX, 7147 Jeffrey Avenue, Chicago,
Illinois, (now deceased) made available in January, 1954, the
"First Annual Report CCASF," an undated publication which
stated that the Chicago Council of American-Soviet Friendship
(CCASF) was incorporated in July, 1943. This document stated,
"The Council's affiliation with the National Council of
American-Soviet Friendship (NCASF) was validated August 11,
(1943), The present name was adopted to conform to standard
national practice. It should be noted, however, that the
Chicago Council is entirely autonomous; the government of its
affairs rests exclusively in the hands of its Chicago Executive
Board," ; ,

On April 8, 1965, a source furnished information to
the effect that as of March 11, 1965, this organization would
be known as the Chicago Council of American-Soviet Relations
(CCASR). MANDEL TERMAN continued to be listed as Chairman of
the new organization.

During April, 1965, a second source advised that
MANDEL TERMAN had arbitrarily dissolved the Board of Directors,
assumed all financial and other functions of the organization,
and was maintaining existing records of the organization at
his residence, 660 West Irving Park Road, Chicago, Tllinois.
The aims and purposes of this organization continued to be
to work for peaceful ccexistence and friendship with the USSR.
While it claimed to be an autonomous .organization, its program
followed the NCASF and it was in frequent contact with the
NCASF.

On November 5, 1958, a third source advised that in
the early 1940s, MANDEL TERMAN was a member-at-large of the
Communist Party (CP) of Fllinois. TERMAN was in Russia in
November, 1958, where he had gone to discuss the treatment of
Jews and to discuss Jewish culture in the USSR with the
leadership of the Soviet Union.

and once the rally was held this temporary committee went

out of existence.

The fourth source advised that as of the present
time the CCASR is defunct in the Chicago area and any future
rally to be held on the American-Soviet friendship theme will
have to be organized by the CP of Tllinois on a temporary

basis.

CHICAGO CHAPTER

A source advised on May 9, 1967, that it was his
understanding that the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) was
formed around 1936 in New York City, and that the Chicage
Chapter of the NLG (CCNLG), which is affiliated with the
national group in-New York, was formed shortly thereafter.
possibly in 1937 by a group of liberal progressive lawyers
in protest against activities of the American Bar Assecistion
Which they claimed was a non-liberal, non-progressive
organization. The CCNLG has no established headquarters kat
occasionally uses the return address of its officials in

HELENA, MONTANA

ss. Ll November 27, 1967

TO ALL AMERICAN WOMEN,

Iam proud of the fact that my first vote cast in Congress
was a vote against war, It was the first opportunity for a
woman to vote because I was the first woman to be elected

to Congress.

I believed then as I do today that women are the ones who
must be concerned with the needs and development of the
human race, I have always fought for the dignity of all

human beings ~~ for those of the present as well as those

of future generations,

TI will continue to struggle as long as I live.

I hope all women will respond to the following CALL, and
join me in Washington on January 8, 1968, the opening
day of Congress.

With highest_hopes,

JEANNETTE RANKIN

A call fo american Women

7. who are outraged by the ruthle'ss slaughter in Vietnam
and the persistent neglect of human needs at home

TO COME TO WASHINGTON JANUARY 15. & 16

AMERICAN WOMEN constitute 51% of the voting population, yet a high percentage of us don’t vote. -
It is time for-women to break out of their societal molds and take their place as effective, vocal citi-
zens. WOMEN CAN ELECT the President they want; Women can determine the political, social and
economic direction of the nation. WE HAVE WOMEN POWER. Let’s use it to demonstrate our
opposition to this war to the Congress of the United States.

We are a broad coalition of women from many areas of American life. We shall meet in Washington
on January 15 for the opening of Congress to demand the following:

1. CONGRESS, AS ITS FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS, RESOLVE TO END THE -
WAR IN VIETNAM AND IMMEDIATELY ARRANGE FOR THE WITHDRAWAL
OF ALL AMERICAN TROOPS.
. CONGRESS USE ITS POWER TO HEAL A SICK SOCIETY AT HOME.
3. CONGRESS USE ITS POWER TO MAKE REPARATION FOR THE RAVAGED
LAND WE LEAVE BEHIND IN VIETNAM.

4. CONGRESS LISTEN TO WHAT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE SAYING AND
REFUSE THE INSATIABLE DEMANDS OF THE MILITARY—INDUSTRIAL
COMPLEX.

After we petition the United States Congress, we will hold our own congress to articulate our position
on the basic problem of achieving peace. We declare our intention to return to our communities and
mobilize women to dedicate ourselves to reshaping American society, and restoring our country toa
position of honor in the community of nations.

On January 15, we will meet at the Union Depot in Washington, D.C., at 11:30 A. M., and walk behind
our delegation which will present our petition to the U.S. Congress.

On January 16, many of us will stay in Washington to begin implementation of these demands by
presenting them to our Congressmen and Senators. We hope you can stay.

OO: NY

Re New York letter to the Bureau, 6/6/72; Bureau 0-7
to New York, 7/12/72; and Philadelphia letter to the Bureau,
2/28/73.

As outlined in referenced New York letter, mec VE
New York Office noted, as far back as June, 1972, it .
recognized that, although several leaders of WONAAC were
known to be SWP members, their activities, as pertaining to
“MONAAC, had been directed towrd the legal repeal of all
restrictive abortion laws, and investigation had disclosed

no indication that WONAAC, as an organization, had engaged in
any subversive or vidence prone activity.

Referenced Bureau 0-7, referencing the aforementioned th
communication, nevertheless instructed that the New Yok Office,
as office of origin, had overall responsibility for captioned
organization, and directed the New York Office to reopen its a
ease and submit semi-annual reports. <o

A review of the results of the continuing investigation
of WONAAC, together with all indices and references pertaining
thereto, since June 1972, reflects no apparent change in the
activities or the organization @ its membership from that
outlined above.

H
q

The New York Office is in accord with the view of the
Philadelphia Division, as set forth in its referenced letter,
that WONAAC represents basically a social change vehicle which,
despite disparate political views of its leaders and membership,
deals with the single issue of abortion rights.,, a

In view of instructions set forth in Bureau
memorandum 10-73, dated 3/6/73, paragraph G, wherein the
Bureau reiterated its policy that the FBI has no interest
in individuals and organizations involved in legitimate
dissent and the recent United States Supreme Court decision
upholding the right to abortion, it appears continued.
investigation of WONA‘C as such is not justified.

™he New York Office further concurs with the
Philadelphia view that continued investigati on of the SWP
and/or YSA would produce the desired cove-age and information
concerning its members who are associated or active in WONAAC.

"Phe Militant,” a weekly newspaper of the ,
SWP, in its September 22, 1972, edition carried an
article entitled "Petition Filed for Vote on Abortion,"
which reported that representatives of an Abortion
Referendum Committee had announced on September 7, 1972,
the filing of a petition to allow Massachusetts citizens
to vote on whether abortion should be legalized.
According to the article, representatives of BOWAAC
were among supporters of this Abortion Referendum
Committee.

A leaflet entitled "Speak Outrage - A Woman's
Right to Choose a Public Hearing” was distributed to the
public in the general Boston area during October, 1972,
to advertise a meeting at the Boston University, Boston,
Law Auditorium under the joint sponsorship of BOWAAC and
Female Liberation on October 28, 1972. According to the
leaflet, women would testify at this gathering against
persons or institutions which nad victimized «hem with
legal or illegal abortions or had denied them contraception,
voluntary sterilization or good pre-natal care, or had
sterilized them without their knowledge or consent.

. Among the listed speakers was JANE ROLAND,
identified as a member of BOWAAC who was to speak on the
topic, "Summary and Indictments."

"The Militant" in its November 10, 1972,
edition carried an article which reported that on
October 28, 1972, 300 women had gathered at the Law

The "Observer," a campus newspaper of Tufts
University, Medford, Massachusetts, in its November 3,
1972, edition carried an article entitled "Groups Debate
Abortions," which reported that representatives from the.
"Value of Life Committee" and BOWAAC had met head on

Re: National Women's Political Caucus (NWPC)
Policy Council Meeting

Source, who has furnished reliable information in the
past, provided the following information on July 3,. 1972:

A Policy Council Meeting of the National Women's
Political Caucus (NWPC) was held in Washington, D.C. during
the period June 24, 1972 - dune 25, 1972.

The NWPC is a legitimate, loosely-knit, open
organization of politically motivated women
seeking equal recognition in the American
community.

During the Policy Council Meeting there were no
overt attempts: by any organized aroup to influence the nolicv
meeting and there were no individuals present who identified
themselves as members of any organization which might be construed
as subversive and/or suynporting any cause excent lecitimate
change.

t
Of significance, however, was the fact that literature aT
of the Women's National Abortion Action Coalition (WOMAAC) was |
present in brochures and pamphlets located throughout the meeting
area, All of the WOMAAC material was geared to the abortion
movement and specifically the WONAAC conference scheduled for
Hunter College, New York, July 15 - 16, 1972..

WONAAC was founded in July, 1971. for the purpose of
forming a national movement of groups scattered
throughout the United States who favor and -
now work to legalize abortion. The Young Socialist
Alliance (YSA) and Socialist Workers Party (SWP)

are playing a major role in WONAAC,.

The SWP has been designated pursuant to
Executive Order 10450, :

Re: NWPC Policy Council Meeting

As the youth organization of the SWP, the
YSA serves as the main source of récruitment into
that organization. The YSA is described in the
masthead of its official publication, "The Young
Socialist Organizer," as "a multinational
revolutionary socialist youth organization."

During the council meeting on June 24, 1972, Mary
Clarke, who is associated with the Southern California WPC,
an affiliate of the NWPC, advised a group of volicy -council
members that WONAAC had been using the Southern California WPC
name as an endorser of WONAAC. Clarke also stated that WONAAC
had passed out propaganda at a caucus rally in California and
were very effective at taking control of small gath 1erings.

The Chairwoman from Nassau County in New York, whose
name was not recalled, defended WONAAC stating that "thev were
a good group", This woman's position was not supported and,
in general, WONAAC literature was not accepted bv those versons
present, Jill Ruckelshaus, a new member of the Policy Council,
is reportedly concerned about the SWP's attempts to align
itself with the abortion movement and will be usine her newlv
gained position to fight SWP attempts at control of local
WPC groups.

The NWPC organizing brochure published by the NWPC
has been written to assist individual WPC groups in organizing.
The brochure lists political varties and para~-volitical
organizations to be contacted bv caucus organizers when forming
the nucleus of a WPC. Among those listed was the SWP. After
discussions at the caucus it was determined that the SWP should |
be removed from the list. The new edition of the “PC organizing ~*
brochure will not list the SWP; it has been replaced bv National
Peace Action Coalition (NPAC).

The NPAC was founded in 1970 by members of the SIP.
Its basic objective is to unite masses of people
including labor unions, GIs, and the black
comminity in the struggle to end United States
intervention in Southeast Asia through orderly and
peaceful tactics.

The Women's National Abortion
Action Coalition

Confidential sources one, two and three, all of
whom have furnished reliable information in the past, advised
on July 18, 19, and 20, 1972, respectively, that a Women's
National Abortion Action Coalition GRHALC} Conference was
held at Hunter College, Park Avenue and 69th Street, on
Juiy 15 and 16, 1972. .

Confidential source number one advised that
New York City was’picked for the site of this convention
because this city is considered to be the center of the most
powerful anti-abortinn effort so far. 2

Tne WONAAC Conference was open to all women
who supported the Abortion Law Repeal Movement. Registration
was $3.00 per person, Housing and child care facilities were
available. There were approximately 800 women in attendance
at this conference,

Discussions Wald at this conference centered on
plans for (onérfuture activity in the campaign to repeal
all anti~abortion and contraception laws and éwo}to end
forced sterilization,

A discussion was held concerning the attacks
being made by the Catholic Church Hierarchy and other
anti-abortion groups against women's rights to their
own bodies.

WONAAC Ils aware of the fact that progress for
these matters will not come easy,:that it will be fought by
varlous groups step by step all the way, therefore, this
conference was called to discuss all.the different approaches
and to decide on the major direction for WONAAC to take..

The Agenda for the conference followed the
propased agenda set forth by the Korking Committee,
mentioned abave, with the exception of a change in
the lunch hour and some of the workshop schedules.

Prior to the Seturday conference, a Socialist
Workers Party - Young Socialist Alliance (SWP~Y¥SA) Fraction
meeting was held at the Belmont Placa Hotel on 4Gth Street
and Lexington Avenue at AM. ‘Those in ettendance at this
.Faction meeting were SVP~YSA comrades from NYC and from
out of town. YThe discussion at this -FPacticon meeting centered
on the precedure to be followed at the conference by the
YSA~SUP members in terms of voting on various workshops and
wnat stend to take which vould be more baneficial for the
YSA-SWP. This > faction meeting was concluded at aporoximately

9:30 PM. Fokrie re MiMBER OF SUBJECT CUCANIZATION
: The WORAAC Courterence procedure continued

uninterrupted with votes on various flgpr discussions +
until an interruption was made by Rose/fWeber, a WONAAC A
coordinator. She addressed all YSA-SWP members at the
conference, asking them vhat.was thelr reali reasen for

being in attendance at the WONAAC Conference. She

sccuged the YSA-~SWP of not being sincerely interested

in abortion rights, but rather being interested in what

was best for the SYP-YSA. She stated that <-because of

the YSA-SiVP influence being enforced on ths conference,

she was resigning as a VOHAAC coordinator and staff member,

She stated that she detested the intervention of the YSA-SwP

in this conrerence; that the SYP-YSA has caused conflict among
the WOMAAC staff and therefore, they cannot work out eonstructive
sclutions to their problems. She also suggested that the "Zero
Population" and planned parenthood have no voice in discussions
at this conference. Finalizing her accusations, she stated the
YSA-SWP members had no mind of their own nor did they have any
¥reedon of expression of thelr own. She stated that they only

in deBense of the SNP-YSA position at the Vv V

conference, Linda,
epoke in behaif of the YSA-SvP. In a.swer to Rose Weber's
aecucation, denness stated that all members of the YSA-SWP
were independent individuals with their ovn oreonal ideas
and viewpoints.

On July 15, 1972, a proposal wasmssedby the
Election Workshop which stated in part as tellows:

"WORAAC welcomes wemon from all political
affilfations and views. We are united in ection to
win our demands guarantecing women the right to. ‘control,
cur own reproduction functions.

"Ry uniting women of alk political views we
maximize our strength. Any attempt to impose one political
view on everyone in WONAAC would only destroy our ability to
Light together on the abortion question. herePore RORAAC
as.an organization takes no position on any candidates or
political parties...."

“Phe political rallies which will no doubt take
place with increa:ing frequency around the country as
November approaches offer us a forum for getting our ideas
across to great numbers of women. Besides allowing us an
opportunity to force the candidates to take @ public stand
on abortion, these gatherings give us a chance to publicize
both FKONAAC and the repeal campaign."

"That the WONAAC National Office maintain, -
at all times, a fund-raising starf efficient enough

time it raises sufficient capital to maintain the daily
expenses of the National Office and staff..."

Confidential dJource number two related that the
evening plenary session of WONAAC occurred on July 15, 1972,
and it was immediately apparent that the Socialist .
Workers Party - Young Scoialist Alliance (SWP-YSA) group
dominated the meeting. Independent women who wanted to make
statements during this session were voted down by SWP floor
leaders and these same persons eontinued to vote as a bloc
on all issues

The group of independent women from various geogra-
phic areas, that is those women who were not associated with the
SWP or YSA, went together after the plenary session was adjourned
and considered the problem of.how to handle the SWP leaders,
While these women were not political realists in their goals,
they did believe in working throughout the existing system
rather than functioning with the SWP in their eventual goal
of revolution,

It was decided that the independent feminists would
no longer continue hasSjing within WONAAC. They did not want
to have decisions for them oveing structured by a male dominated
group. Tney also decided that money being collected by WONAAC
in the name of abortion law change was not being used for that
purpose, but rather to sustain members of the SWP-YSA.

The Sunday morning session, July 16, 1972, was
labeled "Meeting to Discuss Internal Hassles. About 35
independents attended and a few number of SWP-YSA members and
sympathizers were present. Independents there were from New
Haven, Boston, Detroit, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and
San Francisco, .

The independents did not waiver in their firm opposition
to SWP-YSA control @ WONAAC. Six national coordinators of ;

There were approximately 700-800 women in attendance -
at the afternoon session. According to one of the SwWP
leaders, these women were from 31 states and three countries~ .
Canada, Italy and’ Sweden. The states that had more representation
than others were Ohio, Illinois, New York, and Massachusetts.

Most of the problems and differences between the
independents and the SWP centered around approaches to abortion
law reform, The SWP was charged with always having demonstra-
tions and rallies and never doing any work through the legis-
lative process,

The independents stated that they were tired of this
hassle and that they believed there were more effective ways
to change abortion laws than carrying placards in the streets,

After the independent women publicly resigned in
front of the plenary session, two other coordinators announced
they were staying on. One was Barbara Roberts, the other's
name is unknown,

Linda Jenness made a final plea for the independent
women to reconsider. The removal of the independents from WONAAC
has debilitated the organization and most independent representa-
tives will be going back to their own cities to work for abortion
law change in organizations which have no connection with the
SWP,

The concern still exists, however, that WONAAC will
be able to collect monies in the name of abortion reform and

there is also the concern that women new to the movement will
join in a mistaken notion that they will be furthering
abortion law reform.

Independents vowed before leaving New York that
they would try to publicize activities from the SWP in an
effort to prevent this. .

As the youth orgenization of the Socialist
Workers Party (SWP), the YSA serves as the
main source of recruitment into that organ~
ization. The YSA is deseribed in the masthead
of its official publication, "The Young
Socialist Organizer,"-as "A multinational
revolutionary socialist youth organization."

The SWP hasbeen designated pursuant
to Executive Order 10450.

| Abortion Action Coalition (WONAAC) and that about two weeks ago
WUAR decided to change their name from WUAR to Philadelphia Women's
National Abortion Action Coalition (Philadelphia WONAAC) and that
they intended to utilize the same office space at 1115 Walnut
Street and the same telephone number. PH T-1 added that this
! change was made inasmuch as the name WUAR was found to be unwieldy
and awkward and that it did not convey the group's affiliation with
WONAAC as well as the new name Philadelphia WONAAC.

An article in "The Sunday Bulletin," Section 2, pages

6 and 7, issue of October 31, 1971, listed the various candidates
for political office in the City of Philadelphia in connection with
the forthcoming elections. Photographs of the following individuals
appeared and background information contained under each individual
photograph indicated that all were members of the Socialist

Workers Party (SWP) and that they were also affiliated with the
WUAR_ and/or WONAAC: 7

was SAMARA JAROSH, .

PH T-1 advised on May 25, 1972 that it is difficult
to determine the actual degree of SWP participation in the affairs
of WONAAC in the Philadelphia area and that he was not aware of
any information which would reflect that Philadelphia WONAAC was
substantially controlled by the SWP. Source explained that the
abortion rights issue had frequently been discussed at many of the -
recent public forum type meetings sponsored by the Philadelphia
SWP and held at the Philadelphia SWP Headquarters at 1004 Filbert
Street in Philadelphia. The discussions held on the abortion
rights issue indicated that the SWP felt that the capitalistic
system had used the dual issues of abortion and women's liberation
to keep women in a position of inferiority, whereas the socialistic
system being promoted by the SWP would be in favor of abortion and
women's liberation, and WONAAC would therefore naturally attract
members of the SWP to their organization,

WONAAC was founded in New York City 7/71 for purpose
of forming a national movement of sroups throughout U,. S, who

Socialist Workers Party (SWP) and Young Socialist Alliance
(YSA). WONAAC scheduled to hold conference at Hunter College,

requested authorization for (DE 2831-5\ a valuable source who
has been paid under SAC authority, to attend national conference
in New York City. Detroit advised delay in submitting request was
due to lack of information as to, whether source would be abie
to attend conference, sStis member of Detroit Women's
Abortion Action Coalition (WAAC) and has furnished coverage on
SWP influence in her chapter, and she has been successful in
thwarting complete SWP takeover, Based on informint's position
to discuss with persons in leadership capacity matters concerning
SWP infiltration of WONAAC, it appears highly desirable for
source to attend WONAAC conference in New York City, Detroit
being authorized to advance source $135 in connection with ,
travel to this conference, Detroit and New York also instricted
to coordinate re source maintaining contact with New York and
to insure FD-306 submitted and LHM submitted setting forth

ReAL letter to New York, dated 8/30/72, wherein

| Albany asked to be advised of any active investigation being
conducted re WONAAC, or if any active investigation is
warranted by Albany, FBI.

For the information of the Albany Division, the
New York Office is the office of orign, concerning captioned
organization. The Bureau has advised that as the Socialist
Worrers Party and the Young Socialist Alliance play amajor /
roll in WONAAC throughout the United States, and inasmuch ,_-’-.
as information has been provided that WONAAC is, for the ,
most part, totally controlled by Socialist Workers Party/
Young Socialist Alliance, the activities of this aganization
should be followed, for the purpose of determining the
extent of influence and control:. by individuals who are
members of Socialist Workers Party/ Young Socialist Alliance,
and who are acting on behalf of these organizations.

Based upon Bureau instructions, in light of
information set forth in referenced Albany letter, concerning
DIANEAPARRY, an Socialist Workers Party organizer in the
Utica, New York area, and her re orted communication with
national headquarters of WONAAC in New York City. It would
appear advisable for the Albany Division to institute such
investigation, as it deems appropriate to ascertain the extent
of Socialist Workers Party/Young Socialist Alliance activit
in its division in connection with WONAAC.

_ Individuals known to be involved in the women! 's
liberation movement in the Twin Cities area of Minneapolis
and St. Paul, Minnesota, have, during the past six months,
shown little or no interest in the organization known as the
MWAAC. Former leaders in the women's liberation movement
have become aware of the SWP influence among the leaders of
the group, and have adopted a hands off policy from active
participation in the affairs of this group. While the

_May 6, 1972, rally in St. Paul, Minnesota, was attended by
some 200 individuals, their attendance was considered to be
due to individual interest in the abortion issue.

‘SWP INFLUENCE

The MWAAC is not a committee of the TCB-SWP, nor
is it a part of the YSA-TCG. Women’s liberation is a topic
of general interest and concern to the membership of the
TCB-SWP, and the anti-abortion standard taken by MWAAC is
one aspect of the women's Liberation movement of continued
interest.

MINNESOTA "WOMEN" s ABORTION

_ ACTION COALITION | CONFIDENTIAL

Members of the YSA-TCG have in the past, “expressed

‘interest in the support of women's liberation as a matter of

policy. The anti-abortion, or so called legal abortion

movement, is one aspect of this women's Liberation movement
which continues to be of concern to members of the YSA-TCG,
both male and female. While the vast majority of women in
the State of Minnesota support either the repeal or changes

‘in present state laws on abortion, supporters of this repeal

or change also include professional women, medical doctors,
lawyers, municipal court judges, and individuals from all
walks of life.._ ,

in New York City (nyc) , details of which will be set out
. more fully hereinafter. .

As ‘the youth organization of the’
SWP, the YSA serves as the main
source of recruitment into that
organization. The YSA is described
in the masthead of its official
publication, "The Young Socialist
Organizer", as "a Multi-National
Revolutionary Socialist Youth
Organization".

The SWP has been designated pur-
suant to Executive Order 10450.

Ie ORGANIZATIONAL, DATA

A. Origin and Scope

NY T-2 on July 21, 1971, and NY T-3 on October 1,
1971, furnished information that over 1,000 women met in
conference at Columbia University, NYC, NY, on July 16,
1971, through July 18, 1971, to form a National Movement
of independent groups scattered throughout the United
States (US) who favored and had worked to legalize abortion.
As a result of this conference, WONAAC was founded.

B. Aims and Purposes

In the WONAAC national newsletter, dated September 16,
1971, WONAAC was self-described as a nationally coordina-
ted abortion law repeal campaign including legislation;
legal action, and nationally coordinated mass demonstrations
in Washington, DC, and San Francisco, on November 20, 1971,
for the repeal of all anti-abortion laws and corollary
demands of no forced sterilization, and the repeal of all
restrictive contraception laws. WONAAC claims to reach
all women, black; Chinaca; Latina; Asian; Puerto Rican;
native American women; campus women; gay women; high
school women; housewives; professional, welfare, and
working women; young women; women from churches, political
organizations, trade unions, the military, and communities
across the country.

Cc. Headquarters

‘ On November 22, 1972, a Special Agent (sa) of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), utilizing a
pretext, contacted an individual self-identified as CAROL
EATON at telephone number 675-9150, located at 150 5th
Avenue, NYC, NY. EATON, who stated she is currently a
National Staff member of WONAAC, advised that the National
and NY Staffs of- WONAAC are headquartered at this address;

D. When Meetings Held

. According ‘to CAROL EATON, regular N¥ Coalition
meetings of WONAAC are held every other Wednesday evening
at Religious Center at New York University, 2 Washington
Square North, NYC, NY. HEATON stated that most NY State
staff members are present at these meetings and at least
one or more National Staff members also try to be in
attendance. Other than this, state and national staffs
meet periodically, as business demands.

E. Officers

EATON identified the following individuals as

an ‘According to EATON, ‘WONAAC does not maintain a
formal membership, as such, and financially exists only’
through voluntary contributions. She stated that all

staff members, National and NY State, serve on a voluntary
basis, receive no salary, and get only a small "subsistance
allowancé" which the staff has found necessary to supplement
with their own personal funds in order to get by. .

G WONAAC Affiliates

CAROL EATON stated there are presently 36 WONAAC
affiliates, also called "coalitions" throughout the US, and
that most states of the union are represented by an affiliate
or coalition,

Ii. YSA-SWP INFLUENCE AND CONTROL
OVER WONAAC

NY T-1 provided information on July 22,.1971,

that the First National Womens Abortion Conference was

held at Columbia University, NYC, NY, from July 16, 1971,
to July 18, 1971, which resulted in the founding of WONAAC.
NY T-1 stated that it was immediately apparent that this
conference was taken over and influenced by YSA-SWP members
who infiltrated the various conference committees and
workshops which were established to help formulate the
main direction the Coalition would follow in the future.

NY T-1 stated that it seemed certain the YSA-SWP would,

in the future, dictate policy for this organization and

Would be able to control the utilization of WONAAC funds.

on’ August 5, 1971, NY T-4 provided a leaflet

" captioned, "what Every Woman Should Know". This leaflet,

which was published by Feminist Organization for Communi-
cation; Action and Service (F.0.C.A.S.), related the following:

"The Womens National Abortion Coalition has
been called and organized by the SWP and its affiliate,
the YSA, including women supposedly representing Women's

amie ie
ORS,

.- so tes m,


NY 100-174481°: > +

-SWP and YSA. These women attach more importance to their
political movement than.to the Women's Liberation Movement.
And when 77% of the women in this country are for reform
of abortion laws, there is fertile soil for a political: |
party to build itself on. The SWP/YSA realizes this and.
is taking advantage of it." : ,

On August 5, 1971, a leaflet
wed te ; captioned mE, 0.C.A.S." revealed
Ts . in part as follows:

TA nucleus of about eight feminists
have formed FOCAS, Feminist
Organization for Communication,
Action and Service. FOCAS evolved
from the Women's Strike Coalition
(WSC), which the Socialist Workers

Party abruptly abandoned on May
25th in order to form the committee
for WONAAC. Since that time a
nucleus of women from WSC together
with like-minded feminists pre-
served the WSC in order to main-
tain and expand a multi~issue
action-oriented Women's Libera~
tion coalition in the NYC area.

Assisted by loans from supporting
feminists, the new WSC paid
back nearly a thousand of the
three thousand dollars of debts
incurred by the SWP women who
had controlled the old WSC.

The "Militant" issue of August 6, 1971, page five;
in an article entitled, “Abortion Campaign Counters Red-
Baiting", revealed in part, with respect to the founding
WONAAC conference in July, 1971:

"The Militant" is a weekly news-
paper of the SWP.

“There were many members of the SWP and YSA at the
conference, and SWPers and YSAers are among those who
have worked most consistently for abortion repeal and to
build the abortion conference...."

NY T-5 advised on November 12, “1971, that a NY
Planniiig Meeting of WONAAC was held at LOEB Student Center,
NY University, NY, on November 11, 1971, to lay plans
for a scheduled November 20, 1971 demonstration in Washington,
DC. According to this source, this meeting was completely
dominated and controlled by members of the SWP.

NY T-6 related on November 16, 1971, that the Upper
West Side Branch of the YSA planned to send a contingent
of its members to Washington, DC, on November 20, 1971,
in order to participate in the planned demonstration there
on that date. - -

: NY T-6 stated ‘that “practically all the members of the
uptown branch of the YSA, AY, were expected to participate
in this activity.

NY 5 related on January 20, 1972, that the scheduled
November 20, 1971 march in Washington was "crucial" to

for selling of "The Militant" and other SWP/YSA literature,
and also afforded an opportunity for "intervening " in the

us NY 18 on February 11, 1972, and NY T-9 and NY T-10
on February 14, 1972, provided information that a WONAAC
convention was held February 11, 1972, to February 13, 1972,

.at Hayden Hall, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts.

The general theme of this convention was "How to Win
Abortion Law Repeal". NY T-8 stated that approximately
30 members of the YSA or SWP Boston Chapters were observed.
in attendance at this convention.

WY T-7 velated on February 14, 1972, that because of the

NPAC was founded in 1970 by
members of the SWP. Its objec-

and unconditional withdrawal

tye in Southeast Asia.

. NY T-7 advised on various dates, March 23, 1972,
through October 17, 1972, that activities’ of WONAAC were
dutifully reported and included on the agenda at regular
meetings of the Upper West Side Branch, YSA-New York Local
(YL) during that period.

oe NY T-5 advised on April 18, 1972, that the leader-
ship of WONAAC was then dominated by the SWP.

NY T-7 related on July 7, 1972, that at a WONAAC
meeting held June 27, 1972, at 706 Broadway, NYC, NY,
starting at 6:40 PM, it was announced that even though
WONAAC previously had accused various female activists
working along with them in the Women's Liberation struggle
of red baiting because of the stand they had taken against
the SWP~Young Socialist Alliance (YSA), at present they
are forced to work with these individuals to help strengthen
the WONAAC . cause. .

At this meeting, certain WONAAC staff members ;
walked out and voiced their disapproval of the meeting i
being taken over by a majority of SWP-YSA members. {
They indicated that the SWP-YSA has no yight to be ina
policy-making position in WONAAC.

i. NY T-7 on-July 18, 1972, and NY T~11 on July 19,
1972, provided information that a WONAAC conference was
held at Hunter College, Park Avenue and 69th Street on
daly 15, 1972: and July 16, 1972.

NY rt -7 stated that NYC was picked as the site of

this convention because this city is considered to be

the center of the most powerful anti-abortion effort so far.

Sa Discussions®€!4 at this conference centered on
plans for (one)-future activity in the campaign to repeal
all anti-abortion and contraception laws and (two)-to

end forced sterilization.

"A ‘discussion was held concerning the attacks
being made by the Catholic Church Hierarchy and other
anti-abortion groups against women's rights to their own
bodies. :

; NY T-11 related that the evening plenary session
of WONAAC occurred on July 15, 1972, and it was immediately
apparent that the SWP-YSA groups dominated the meeting.
Independent women who wanted to make statements during

this session were voted down by SWP ‘floor leaders and

these same persons continued to vote as a block on all
issues.

' The group of independent women from various
geographic areas, that is, those women who were not
associated with the SWP or YSA, went together after the
plenary session was adjourned and considered the problem
| _ of how to handle the SWP leaders. While these women
‘were not political realists in their goals, they did
believe in working throughout the existing system rather
than functioning with the SWP in their eventual goal of
revolution.

It was decided that the independent feminists
would no longer continue hassling within WONAAC. They
did not want to have decisions for them being structured
by a'‘male dominated group. They also decided that money

change was not being used for that purpose, but rather
to sustain members of the SWP-YSA.

_ The Sunday morning session, July 16, 1972, was
labeled "Meeting to Discuss Internal Hassles." About 35
independents attended and a few number of SWP-YSA members
and sympathizers were present. Independents. there were
from New Haven, Boston, Detroit, New York (NY), Chicago,

Philadelphia, and San Francisco.

The independents did not waiver in their firm

a resign publicly at the afternoon plenary session. They

rs also decided to combat SWP control of the feminist move-

3 SWP leaders, these women were from 31 states and three

i couritries-Canada, Italy and Sweden. The states that had
FR, more representation than others were Ohio, Illinois, New

York and Massachusetts.

Most of the problems and differences between the

independents and the SWP centered around approaches to
abortion law reform. The SWP was charged with always
having demonstrations and rallies and never doing any

work through the legislative process.

The independents stated that they were tired of

this hassle and that they believed there were more ef-
fective ways to change abortion laws than carrying placards

in the streets.

from WONAAC has debilitated the organization and most
independent, representatives will be going back to their
own cities to work for abortion law change in organizations
which haye no connection with the SWP. .

The concern still exists, however, that WONAAC will
be able to collect monies in the name of abortion reform
and there is also the concern that women new to the move-
ment will join in a mistaken notion that they will be”
furthering abortion law reform.

Independents vowed before leaving NY that they
would try to publicize activities from the SWP in an
effort to prevent this.

IIT. OBSERVATION OF CURRENT NATIONAL

STAFF MEMBER REGARDING YSA/SWP INFLUENCE

When contacted under pretext on November 24,
1972, CAROL EATON, self-identified as a current National
Staff member, and previously mentioned in this report,
related that she has been active in WONAAC since its
inception. EATON, while 4YTF2N9 she is definitely not a
YSA, SWP, or member of any “radical group", acknowledged
there always have been SWP, YSA and “radical” elements
in WONAAC. She went on to state, however, that WONAAC
has never allied itself politically with any organization
or individual, including any of the political candidates
in the recent political election and, despite its diverse
makeup as too ideaological beliefs of its membership,
WONAAC is basically an organization which strives only
to the objectives for which it was originally founded,
To this end, she went on, WONAAC would accept help from
whatever source offered.

BATON admitted there were some problems in

her observation, never seemed a serious’one, and is quite.
minimal today. With regard to the "walk out" of six

national coordinators at the July, 1972 conference in NYC,

she stated the walk out did not occur, in fact, because.

of the SWP/YSA influence question, but rather because

those who walked out believed WONAAC should be a "referral
agency™, while those who stayed felt it should not. By .

CAROL EATON advised that WONAAC plans an inter-

finalized, including the exact location or site this event oeepietn

Washington, D.C. 20535

WOMEN'S NATIONAL ABORTION
ACTION COALITION (WONAAC)

During the latter part of February, 1973, a confidential
source, who has furnished reliable information in the past,
advised that the Washington, D.C. (WDC) Chapter of the Women's
National Abortion Action Coalition (D.C. WONAAC) is scheduled
to participate in an “International Woman's Day Solidarity
Meeting" scheduled to be held in New York City, New York on
Saturday, March 10, 1973, place to be announced.

The national office of WONAAC is located at
150 Fifth Avenue, New York City, New York.
WONAAC goals are self-defined as “working
on a national scale to make abortion legal,
to end restrictive contraception laws, and
to end forced sterilization."

According to the above source, a flyer distributed
by D.C. WONAAC disclosed that among those individuals
scheduled to speak at the meeting are; GISELE HALIMI, described
as a leader of "Choisir,"” a French abortion rights organization;
MICHELE CHEVALIER, described as a defendent in a French abortion
trial; and CLAUDE SERVAN SCHREIBER, described as a feminist
journalist and as a leader of "Choisir".

According to the above source, members of the
WDC Locals of the Young Socialist Alliance (YSA) and the
Socialist Workers Party (SWP) have been urged to participate
in the International Womans Day Solidarity Meeting.

As the youth organization of the SWP, the
YSA serves as the main source of recruitment
into that organization. The YSA is
described in the masthead of its official
publication "The Young Socialist Organizer",
as "A multinational revolutionary socialist
youth organization."

The SWP has been designated pursuant to
. Executive Order 10450.

RePHlet 2/28/73.

The Women's National Abortion Action Conlition (WONAAC)
has been the subject of @ separate investigation by the Bureau
in numerous offices, In referenced letter, Philadelphia pointed
out that WONAAC represents @ basic social change dealing with
abortion rights and that in view of the fact the U,S, Supreme
Court upheld the right of abortion, the continued investigation
of ViGNSAC at this time dees not appernr ¢o be desirable and
should be discontinued, Philadeiphia also suggested that
continued investigation of the Socialist Workers Party (SWpP)
and its youth group, the Young Sctialist Alliance (YSA), should
determine pertinent activities of WONAAC.

After careful consideration of this matter, the Bureau
agrees with the cbhservations of the Philadelphia Office that the
investigation of WONAAC should be discontinued, However, in viev
of the fact that WONAAC is dominated and controlled by the SWP, a
Trotskyist communist organization cited by the Attorney General
pursuant to Executive Order 10450, it ig the responsibility of the
Bureau to investigate and report pertinent information relating
to the extent of SVP domination and control of captioned

vy organization,
Therefore, recipients should close separate
UY investigations concerning WONAAC, In the future, report above-~

Re Philadelphia letter to Bureau dated 1/31/73-
and Bureau letter to Philadelphia dated 2/12/73. °

For the information of New York, referenced Bureau
letter to Philadelphia dated 2/12/73 authorized a continued
investigation of WONAAC utilizing only established sources,

~ The Bureau further advised that the investigation was to be.

' conducted in a most discreet manner and that no action was

to be taken which could in any way be construed as infringement
by the FBI on academic freedom at the University of Pennsylvania,

‘ ° ¢he individuals associated with WONAAC in the Philadelphia
area are also known to be affiliated with the Socialist
Workers Party (SWP) and for the Young Socialist Alliance \
(YSA), the majority of WONAAC supporters appear to be
individuals interested in social change rather than revolu-
. tionary political chaaga0 jo 3

In view of the fact BEER WONAAC represents basically
a social change vehicle dealing with the single issue of
abortion rights and the fact that a recent U. S. Supreme
Court decision upheld the right to abortion, thereby reducing
the political value of this issue, it would appear that a
—eantinued investigation of WONAAC at this time is not
desirable.

taking the risk of embarrassment inherent in a continued

Re Minneapolis letter and letterhead memorandum
dated 9/21/72, ’

The Minnesota Supreme Court on 2/2/73 declared the
state's abortion law unconstitutional in its entirety
based on the 1/22/73 decision of the U.S. Supreme Court
wherein it was ruled that the states cannot prohibit abortions
during the first six months of pregnancy.

The decision of the Minnesota Supreme Ccurtims
resulted in several Twin Cities area hospitais in Minneapolis \,
and St. Paul, Minnesota, offering facilities and providing Ne

necessary procedures for staff members to perform abortions
under these court rulings.

Ge 2851-PSD who has furnished reliable information
in the past, has adVised that the object of the captioned
group was to remove anti~abortion laws from the books in the
state of Minnesota, as well as in the United States,

On 2/16/73 this source further related that the
Women's Liberation Movement supporters in the Twin Cities
area have generally reacted favorably to the court decisions
relating to abortion laws and now that the principal object

the aforementioned hearings and that several buses accommodating/ j;-

- various Washington, 'D..C., women:'s ‘Liberation groups,
Several radical women's groups refused. to endorse the November

Furthermore, they considered ‘YSA/SWP to be ‘“non-feminist",.
‘Main support for the November 20, 1971, demonstration will come

Southern California working for the success of the January 15,

D.C, Subcommittees of the JRB have been meeting in the
headquarters of WSP at 5899 West Pico Boulevard, and WLA at
5889 West Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles. During the most
recent of these subcommittee meetings, held during the first
week in January 1968, at the latter location, much of the .
discussion was related to proposed action in Southern California
by women who would be unable to travel to Washington, D. C.,
for the January 15th confrontation with Congress.

Minor changes in the previously announced schedule
of local activities for January 15, 1968, were agreed upon
at this meeting, as follows:

November 27, 1967

TO ALL AMERICAN WOMEN,

Iam proud of the fact that my first vote cast in Congress
was a vote against war, It was the first opportunity for a
woman to vote because I was the first woman to be elected
to Congress.

I believed then as I do today that women are the ones who
must be concerned with the needs and development of the
human race, I have always fought for the dignity of all
human beings -- for those of the present as well as those
of future generations.

. ae,

I will continue to struggle as long as I live.

I hope all women will respond to the following CALL,, and
. _ join me in Washington on vanuary 8, 1968, the opening
day of Congress,

Dear WSPER:

Vomen Strike for Peace nationally is supporting the Jeannette Rankin Brigade.
Pleneloais, trainloads and carloads of women will be coming into Washington on Mon-
day, January i5th, from all over the country.

Ye are particularly pleased with this action because it represents for the first
time a real coalition of women's peace groups, church groups, theatre personalities, ,
and community leaders,

The Day is envisioned as a solemn, dignified confrontation of those who should be
representing the ever growing opposition to the war. We ask that you write your Con-
gressmen urging that they supvort the four points listed in the enclosed Call as Con-
gress reconvenes., Later in the afternoon at our Women's Congress we want to be able to \
resort on Congressional responses,
|

Ye will all meet at Union Station in Washington at 11: 30 AM and slowly walk to the
fapitel. We ask the women to wear black. We will be led by Jeannette Rankin who will
croceed to the top of the Capitol steps with a representative delegation of 50 women to
present our petition to the two men who represent the whole of Congress, Senator Mike
‘ansfield and Speaker of the House McCormack. The delegation will read tne demands be-
fore the assembled women and the two Congressmen. Leaving the Hill, the women will enter
uses for a motorcade to a Congress of American Women (place to be ’ announced). . Women
ill present an analysis of the current crisis on the war front and the domestic front,

.eading to suggestions for program and actions to be taken back to our communities for in-
hlementation.

Women may choose to remain in Washington the next day to meet with their Congressmen.
£ you wish to stay and wish help in securing accommodations, contact the Hospitality Com-
ithee, 2140 P, St, N.W . Washington, DC (293-2020). We regret that in order to get the
ovest train Tare we had to guarantee return the | same day; therefore you would have to
inance your own trip back on the 16th.

‘Our hope is that 10, 000 women will converge upon Washington. We urge you to parti~
ipate,

Yours for Peace,

Cpt Tagbor-

JEANNETTE RANKIN
Helena, Montana

November 27, 1967

TO ALL AMERICAN WOMEN:

I am proud of the fact that my fixst vote cast in Congress /
Was a vote against the war. It was the first opportunity

for a woman to vote, because I was the first woman to be
elected to Congress.

I believed then, as I do today, that women are the ones that
must be concerned with the needs and development of the
human race. I have always fought for the dignity. of all
human beings ~ for those of the present as well as those

of future generations.

t will continue to struggle as long as I live. I hope all
wouen will respond to the following call and join me in
Washington on January 15, 1968, the opening day ef Congress.

With highest hopes,

JEANNETTE RANKIN

and neglect of a society geared to profit and war...

women grieve for suffering people all over the world and will no longer
remain silent while the gap widens between the rich and the poor...

We ask our government to design and carry out a domestic program
commensurate with the needs of the American people; to fokkew
policy of non-intervention in the affairs of other countries; to
pursue our official committment to disarmament, and to respect
international law,

American women who, as women everywhere, are the bearers and conservers

About two hundred Oahy women have signed the following petition to
Congress: .

As Congress reconvenes, we urge that its first order of bysiness
be to put an end to the war in Vietnam and arrange for fhe withdrawal
of American troops; and that the Congress turn its attention to
amekkorating the crisis in America,

We urge the Congress to heal a sick society at home, to make reparations
for the ravaged land we leave behind in Vietnam and to refuse to
listen to the insatiable demands of the military-indystrial complex.

I want to be kept informed about women's peace activities.

DEMONSTRATION PROTESTING

UNITED STATES POLICY IN VIETNAM,
WASHINGTON, D. C.,

JANUARY 8, 1968

INFORMATION CONCERNING

The "Kansas City Star" newspaper, Kansas City,
Missouri, edition of January 14, 1968, contained an article
stating that Kansas City women were responding to a "woman
power" appeal issued by Miss Jeanette Rankin, former member
of Congress, to end the war in Vietnam. According to the
article, a small delegation of Kansas City women plan to go
to Washington, D. C., on January 15, 1868, to participate in
the march by the "Jeanette Rankin Brigade" to petition Congress
for a United States withdrawal from Vietnam. The others in
the group would remain in Kansas City and present copies of
the petition to the offices of U. S. Representatives Richard
Bolling, Kansas City, Missouri, and Larry Winn, Kansas City,
Kansas, at 1:00 p.m., on January 15, 1968.

The "Kansas City Star" evening edition of January
15, 1968, carried an article stating that on the afternoon
of January 15, 1968, 20 women appeared at the offices of
Representatives Bolling and Winn. They carried no signs
and the demonstration was orderly. The women, all from the
greater Kansas City area, merely presented a petition asking
Congress to end the war in Vietnam and withdraw American
troops, to make reparations for the “ravaged land we leave
behind in Vietnam", and to listen to the American people
and refuse "the insatiable demands of the military-industrial
complex". The article stated that the Kansas City branch of
the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom
had been planning to send representatives to the Washington
march, but it was not until Wednesday that they decided to
present the petitions to Congressmen Winn and Bolling.
According to the article, Mrs. John M.“Swomley , Ur. 5
Program Chairman of the organization, stated the Kansas City
group hoped to identify with the women in Washington and their
objective to bring and end to the war in Vietnam.

DEMONSTRATION PROTESTING U.S.
POLICY IN VIETNAM
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
JANUARY 15, 1968

Chairman of the Brigade, announced to the demonstrators that this
docal demonstration was principally gathered to support women
from around the United States who were gathered in Washington,
D.C. today, as part of a nation-wide demonstration sponsored by
the Jeannette Rankin Brigade, to petition Congress to resolve
the conflict in Vietnam. Bridges stated that inasmuch as it

was not possible for the demonstrators to personally contact
their congressmen, most of whom were out of town; that following
the presentation of a petition to Mayor Joseph Alioto, the
demonstrators would then proceed to the Western Union Office on
10th and Market Streets in San Francisco, so that the women
protestors could send wires to their congressmen, protesting
United States policies in Vietnam. Bridges indicated that the
petitioners would request Mayor Alioto to convey to Congress
their petition, which among other things urged Congress, as its
first order of business, to resolve to end the War in Vietnam and
immediately arrange for withdrawal of all American troops from
Vietnam; for Congress to use its power to heal the sick society
at home and to make reparations for the ravaged lands left

behind in Vietnam.

A source advised March 2, 1967, that Mrs. H.
Bridges, also known as Nikki Bridges, 35
Kronquest Court, San Francisco, California, was
listed as a recipient of a new yearly subscription
to the "People’s World" (PW), expiration date:
March 4, 1968.

The PW is a west coast communist newspaper,
published weekly in San Francisco. bee

The next speaker was identified as Aileen-Hernandez.
She spoke for approximately five minutes and brtefty~explained
to the demonstrators who Jeannette Rankin is and what the purposes
of the Jeannette Rankin Brigade are. She stated that the group
has no principal spokesman and it is principally a group of
women who are involved and committed in a fight for peace.

Several of the demonstrators, led by Nikki Bridges,
then proceeded to the Office of Mayor Joseph Alioto to present
their petition.

JANUARY 15, 1968

Approximately ten minutes later the Mayor of

San Francisco appeared on the steps of the City Hall and announced
to the demonstrators that he would gladly transmit their
petition to Congress. .Mayor Alioto stated that he fully
believed in the constitutional right of peaceful assembly.
He indicated, however, that because he had consented to
transmit the demonstrators! petition to Washington, he did not
necessarily agree with it. The Mayor then stated that it
was his personal opinion that the United States Government and
the Johnson Administration had done all in its power.to attempt
to come to a peaceful and honorable solution in the Vietnamese
War. He related that he felt that it was now up to the other

side to make the same attempts to arrive at a peaceful solution

in the Vietnamese conflict.

At approximately 12:45 p.m., the demonstrators proceeded
to the Western Union Office located at 10th and Market Streets
in San Francisco, so that wires could be sent to their congressmen
in Washington.

A source advised on May 9, 1967, that it was his
understanding that the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) was
formed around 1936 in New York City, and that the Chicag.
Chapter of the NLG (CCNLG), which is affiliated with the
national group in New York, was formed shortly theresiter,
possibly in 1937 by a group of liberal progressive lawyers
in protest against activities of the American Bar Association
which they claimed was a non-liberal, non-progressive
organization. The CCNLG has no established headquarters tut
occasionally uses the return address of its officials in
literature.

. offices of the Women/Strike for Peace (WSP) (see appendix),

page on WSP) indicating that she and Vivian Hallinan of Sen
Francisco, California, were already in “Washington,” D. C.,
making final arrangements for the JRB action to be held in
that city on January 15, 1968. Clarke indicated that she and
Mrs, Hallinan had already received numerous queries from
representatives of the Washington news media resarding proposed
action to be taken by the JRB. She also noted that it might
be necessary to re-route the proposed JRB march on the Capitol,
in view of some "1882 Law" relating to demonstrations in the
vicinity of the Capitol buildings.

According to Source One the women from Southern
California, travelling to participate in the Washington dJRB
action, were to leave Los Angeles Saturday night, January 13,
1968, via American Airlines Flight 78. Most of them were to
return to Los Angeles, from Dulles International Airvort, on
Tuesday, January "16, 1968, via American Airlines Flight 5.

As of January 12, 1968, the following women affiliated
with WSP were scheduled to travel from Southern California-to

West First Street (First and Broadway, in the downtown Civic
Center), Los Angeles, California, at approximately 9:30 AM. -
The women were carrying vlacards indicating they were the
local representation of the JRB. They also had two leaflets
for distribution (Xerox copies of which are appended to this

indicated that a voting block of American women had the power
to put an end to the war in Vietnam, These leaflets bore the
address of the JRB as 5899 West Pico Boulevard, Los Angeles,
California (90019), which is the address of the headquarters of

At 19:50 AM, the women marched to the steps on the
First Street side of the Los Angzeles City Hall for a second
rally. <A count made as the den -onstrators marched between the
Old State Building and tne City Hall revealed that 250
adult Caucasians (majority of whom were women dressed in
black), and eight non-Caucasian adults were involved, plus
some younssters and infants. The mother of one of the children
had a cardboard sign, depicting a bomb and the caption, "I'm
Glad I'm Not Vietnamese", strapped to the back of her son who
appeared to be less than four years of age.

With Verontes Stations again acting as mistress of a fe
ceremonies, thé rally“tias addressed by Chaxiotte Sherman, oo,
Margaret Wright, Tima Tomash, and JipScnary. Tne latter --"-
was introduced as a radio commentator employed by Los Angeles
Radio Station KLAC. She joined the others in calling for a
coalition of women to influence legislation and bring an end to
the war in Vietnam. She also called for support of other "liberal
radio broadcasters on our side", one of whom she named as

William Winter. (The "Daily People's World", west coast

communist newspaver, in its edition of June 11, 1946, described
William Winter as chairman of a local citizens! committee to
safecuard the Joint Anti-Fascist Refuge Committee, which
organization has been cited pursuant £0 Executive Order 10450).

Ka rlobe€ Sherman was introduced as the wife of
-, 7... .- Laurence Sherman, it being pointed out that he was an-- = ~~
. unsuccessful candidate for public office, on a peace slate,
during 1967, but that both he and his wife were continuing the
fight for an end to the war in Vietnam, She said, "It is time
for us to re-examine our role. as women. Women are a vehicle
for giving life. We will not be a venicle for perpetuation

of wars” She then read some anti-war quotes from Henry David
Thoreau, “indicating they were as timely today, as when he wrote
them. . ,

Marsaret Wricht stated that wherets the majority of
women in the demonstration were wearing black to denote mourning,
that she and her non-Caucasian associates who feel, "Black is
beautiful" were dressed in white to indicate their attitude of
mourning. She called for the elimination of ROTC (Reserve
Officers Training Corps) from local high schools and junior
colleges, adding, "Tney have got to get live bullets out of the
schools, and get some live teachers in." She repeated these
same statements during the afternoon wnen the JRB moved to
the Los Angeles City Board of Education.

She urged the women not to.disperse, but to join her and...
others in invading the City Council Chambers with a demand

that the JRB be allowed to speak to the Council even though
they had not made previous arrangements for a place. on the
agenda that day. Some of the women were already out of range
of the public address system and did not hear this announcement
by Wright, having already been dismissed by. Sissons and told to
reconvene at the Board of Education following Luncheon. -

Approximately 200 of the demonstrators did enter
the Council Chambers. They got word to the councilmen, through
one of the staff members, -that they wisned to be heard.
A motion to allow a JRB represent tative to address them was .
put before the Council, and defeated by a vote of six to five.
Immediately following this vote, there was a unanimous vote
that the Council adjourn. As the councilmen filed out of the
room, Bima Tomash rushed to.the front shouting demands that
they return, while other of the women hissed and booed the
city legislators.

During the noon hour some of the women distributed -
leaflets in the City Hali and on the surrounding streets in
the downtown Civic Center.

At 1:00 PM, the wonlén, whose numbers had by that .

time been reduced to 125, massed in the patio of the. Los a
Angeles City Board of Education, 450 North Grand Avenue,
Los. Angeles... Sissons, Wright.and Tomash addressed-the ----.~ ..
assembled demonstrators, pointing out that money spent in
Vietnam could be better spent in education. Wright claimed
that many of the so-called student "drop-outs" are in reality
"push-outs", claiming that she herself was one of the latter. .
She said, Wie need books, not bombs. We know this is a racist
war and we blacks are.not going to fight a racist war", ©She _
indicated that rather than-fight overseas, .the black people
would remain at home and fight the racists She also said,
"Just because I'm pro-black doesn't necessarily mean I'm anti-.
white,” :

Wright said, "I'm not political, but I am honest. I
can't honestly get up and say the pledge of allegiance to the
American flag, because I really don't have liberty and justice;
so I just get up and stand and won't repeat the pledge.”

Later, when she observed a photograph of President Johnson
hanging from a wall in the Administration Building at the
Los Angeles City Board of Education, she told the JRB women
with her, "We shouldn't have to look at such pornographic
pictures, —

Angeles City Sancol Security Officers, during the recent.

Wright said that her arrest at the hands of-Los ---

Manual Arts High School disturbance, had at least one bright

‘result. She said that at the time of her arrest it had been

necessary for the arresting officers to drag her down the
hall as she was too heavy for them to carry. Then she added

- that the next time she is arrested the officers will not have

that excuse as she has lost thirty pounds in the meantime.

The speeches in the patio ended at 1:30 PM and many
of the women left immediately. Seventy-eight women remained ;
and attempted to enter a special committee meeting being attended
py some of the School Board members. They were informed by a
member of-the administrative staff-that the public meeting of the
School Board would not be held until 4:00 PM, the regularly
scheduled meeting time.. The women milled around in the hallway
outside the meeting room, until finally a staff member came out
and told them that two members’ of the School Board, Reverend
James E. Jones and Dr. Julian. Nava, had agreed to grant them an
audience. The women were then ushered into the public board
room of the School Board where they waited until 2:00 PM at
which time the above-named Board members granted the demonstrators
a short audience and answered some questions put to them by tne
women, One question, as to how much Longer the members of the
School-Board were going to permit recruiters’ from the armed -
forces to interview students at local-high schools and junior
cOlleges remained unanswered, but Dr. Nava pointed out to the
women that he had seen nothing wrong in entering the armed- :

of age, and he could see nothing wrong in other young men who

' wanted to do the same today. The demonstration was concluded

by 3:00 PM. There were no incidents and no arrests.’-

Placards carried during this demonstration in Los
Angeles bore the following captions:.

~ "Kat Texas Beef, Not L.B.J. Baloney"”
"oman Power is Vote Power is Peace Power"
"Draft Beer Not Students"
“Where Have All the Men- Gone-To Graveyards"

“Jeannette Rankin Brigade-Women's Votes Count, End

The Southern Conference for Homan Welfare (SCHW)
was cited as a Communist front by the House Committee on
Un-American Activities, House Report 592, Jume 12, 1947.
in the same house report, "The Southern Patriot" was cited
as an “organ" of the SCHW.

An amendment te the charter of the SCHW dated =
April 26, 1946, changed its namwe to the Southern Conference
Educational Fund, Incorporated (SCEF) and stated'‘its purpose
to be to improve the educational and cultural siandards of
the Southern people in accordance with the highest
Arerican democratic institutions, traditions and ideals.

The masthead of the April, 1967, issue of
"The Southern Patriot" indicates that it is the publication
of SCEF, editorial and tusiness offices of which are
located at 3210 West Broadway, Louisville, Kentucky,
Eastern office of which is locared at Suite 412, 799
Broadway, New York City, New York. “The Southern Patriot"
igs published once each month, except Tuly. S&CEF is stated
to be dedicated to ending discrimination based on race,
ereed, color, sex, national origin or economic condition.

Carl Braden is identified as Executive Director
of SCEF and Anne Braden as editex of “The uthern Patriot. "

Mrs. Alberta Ahearn, 2311 Payne Street, Louisville,
Kentucky, a self-admitted former member of the Communist
Party ¢€CP), Louisville, Kentucky, testified on Becember 11,

SCEF (Continued)

continued as an independent organization, rallying support
for integration and democracy and helping to stimulate

and nurture new movements of the early 1960's. The SCEF
maintained headquarters in Louisiana for twenty years, but
in 1966 moved its headquarters to Louisville, Kentucky.

A source advised on March 2, 1961, that Claude
Lightfoot, a Communist Party functionary, stated at a meeting
of the Communist Party in Baltimore, Maryland, on February 25,
1961, that the: Communist Party is not connected with any
progressive movement but indirectly they do have -some influence
| in the SCEF. .

A second source, who is familiar with some phases
of Communist Party activity in the New Orleans area, advised
on June 3, 1966, that during the time that the SCHW was in
existence, members of the Communist Party were members of
and worked actively in the SCHW; however, since the formation
of the SCEF, Communist Party members have not been encouraged
to work in the SCEF. The source stated that the SCEF is
a progressive, liberal organization, which he considers a
Communist Party front organization because it has gone along
with the Communist Party on certain issues, particularly
on the racial issue.

A third source advised on May 25, 1965, that
George Meyers, a Communist Party functionary, expressed
great admiration for Carl and Anne Braden and the SCEF,
with which they are affiliated, and expressed the view
that the SCEF is the best organization in the South as far
as doing effective work is concerned and that they have a
better idea of what they are doing, where they are heading,
and influence other organizations for the better.

The second source also advised on June 3, 1966,

that many people who are officials and supporters of the
SCEF, while liberal in their views, are by no means Communists.

first two years of the FPCC's existence there was a struggle
between Communist Party (CP) and Socialist Workers Party(SWP)
elements to exert their power within the FPCC and thereby
influence FECC policy. This source added that during the past
year there had been a successful effort by FPCC leadership to
minimize the role of these and other organizations in the FPCC
so that their influence as of May , 1963, was nacligible.

The SWP has been designated pursunic to Executive
Order 10450. .

On May 20, 1863, a second source scivised that Vincent
"Ted" Tee, FPCC National Office Director, was then formulating
FPCC policy and had indicated that he had no intention of
permitting FPCC policy to be determined by any cther organization,
This sonrce stated that Lee believed that the ¥=CC should. .
advocate resumption of diplomatic. relations between Cuba and -
the United States and should support the right of
Cubans to manage their revolution without intexference from
other nations. Let “id not advocate supportir,; the Cuban
revolution per se.

The Hovemper 23, 1963, edition of "The New York Times"
reported that Senster Thomas J. Dodd of Connecticut had called
FPCC "the chief public relations instrument of the Castro network
in the United States." It is to be noted that Senator Dodd was
a member of the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee which
twice conducted hearings on the FPCC.

The December 27, 1963, edition of "The New York World
pram and Sun" newspaper stated that the pro-Castro FPCC

was seeking to go out of business and that its prime activity
during its lifetime had been sponsorship of pro-Castro street
rallies and mass picket lines, and the direction of an active
propaganda mill highlighting illegal travel-to-Cuba campaigns.
Its comparatively brief span of life was attributed to mounting
anti-Castro American public opinion, the 1962 Congressional
hearings which disclosed FPCC financing by Castro's United
Natiors Delegation, and ultimately, the bad publicity which
the FPCC received from disclosure of activities on its behalf
by suspected presidential assassin Lee H.. Oswald,

On February 6, 1964, the previvusly mentioned second
source advised that V. T. Lee had recently remarked that tha
FPCC was dead and that there were no plans to organize another
simiiar organization, .

On April 13, 1964, a third source advised that there
had not been any FPCC activity in many months and that the
FPCC had been dissolved.

CONFIDENTIAL

TAIMI HALONEN and THORUN ROBEL were miidiy self-
critical about not working for the programs the younger women
were promoting. TAIMI said she was tired after working long
hours on the Seattle conference to be held Saturday, January
20th at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Seattle at which the
Seattle delegation would report. HALONEN made the observation,
however, that the women working on the program were all very
experienced leaders and she trusted they would formulate a
satisfactory program.

On Monday, January 15, 1968, the delegates including
the group from Washington State, met at the Union Station in
Washington, D.C. It was learned here that the instructions
which had been given the day before at the Shoreham Hotel were
evidently for the California group only, because many California
people had been badiy beaten in previous demonstrations and
they were very cautious and somewhat apprehensive. The
official pattern was different. Mimeographed sheets headed
"Jearrette Rankin Brigade - Information and Instructions" were
passed out and these appeared to be the official instructions.

A repreduction is attached.
at f. :

oe The Washington State délegation was enlarged when a
Mrs ,2BACKUP from Tacoma arrived. RADER said some of the money
usually received from wealthy contpabutors had been collected
by Mrs. BACKUP. Reverend HAROL ASS of Tacoma collected
$120.00, and wanted scmeone else to go instead of ZEFRA > ---ocr7
(STUDAMIRE). RADER defended herself when TAIMI HALONEN criticized
her for bringing ZEFRA along since ZEFRA is at ieast six months

upregnant.

After the demonstration, HEALY and RADER spent much
of the time urging the speakers to include in their talks some-
thing about the status of the American Indian. ELLA BAKER From

. New York did inciude a paragraph from the paper the Washington.

State delegation-submitted to Congress. This was entitled, .
"American Indians and the Struggle for Peace". It had been
prepared by LONNIE HEALY although at its bottom it carried the
notation "(Prepared by the Jeannette Rankin Brigade Delegation
from Washington State)."

RADER,- HEALY, and CORR became indignant because the
audience did not give a standing ovation to Mrs. MARTIN L. KING,

Jr. or any of the Negro speakers.

HEALY expressed great dissatisfaction with the
basic organization of the gathering. She wanted an organi-
zational meeting instead of a rally type meeting which
occurred, HALONEN and ROBEL agreed somewhat. HEALY implied
the whole thing was a waste of her time.

In the workshop secticn of the meeting, HALONEN
worked in the legislative action section; HELEN FRENCH and
ELAINE HORSLEY in the electoral campaigns; and HEALY and
CORR in racism. Here, too, the younger women were very
critical. HEALY, particularly, resented having men as
"pesource people" for the group. She said she thought this
was a women's congress. TAIMI said she found herself in a
situation that was quite different in that she was working
with a very broad spectrum of politically and economically oriented
individuals and it was a real learning experience.. ELAINE
HORSLEY was anxious to get back home and work for peace while
the spirit of JEANNETTE RANKIN was still fresh. She and
HELEN PRENCH expressed the view the congress met the needs
of American women in giving a concrete program on which to work.

Tuesday, January 16, 1968, was for lebbying. The
Seattle and Tacoma people were told to meet at the Methodist
Building, 100 Maryland Avenue. HALONEN, ROBEL, HEALY, HORSLEY,
and HELEN FRENCH arrived before the appointed time. After about
an hour, EMELIA CASSIDY arrived stating RADER had an eye problem
and would be unable to attend. Mrs. BACKUP joined the group.
LINDA CORR and ZEFRA were too tired to get up so early. The
group called on Washington State's Senators JACKSON and MAGNUSON,
but they were not in their offices. After leaving a copy of
the women's petition and a questionnaire prepared by the
Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (see attachment)
they called on Washington State's Congressmen FLOYD HICKS and

BROCK ADAMC. Mr, HICKS was out of town. Mrs. HORSLEY knew the; _.-

‘Congressman personally and her son’ knew two of: the office

personnel. She asked that they relate to him that she was
vitally interested in peace and social justice.

Congressman BROCK ADAMS was in his office and spent
about twenty minutes talking with the group concerning his
political views and some of the political machinations of his
party. The group then began to disintegrate. ELAINE HORSLEY
left to get a 2:30 flight to Boston where she would visit her
son who is attending Harvard University.

CONFIDENTIAL

After some sightseeing in the afternoon, HALONEN,
ROBEL, and Mrs. BACKUP checked into the Plaza Hotel since
they were going to stay a day or two _onger for some workshops.
RADER stayed also. The rest of the group, HEALY, CORR, ZEFRA
(STUDAMIRE), CASSIDY, and FRENCH went to Friendship Airport
and boarded UAL Flight 41 for Seattle.

While in Washington, HEALY kept trying to call a
CARL BLOICE who the source thought used to be either in Seattle
or San Francisco, but she never reached him.

The workshops held on January 15th after the march were:
(1) Legislative Action

(2) Electoral Campaign

(3) Press

C4) New Women in New World

(5) War at Home

(6) Resistance
€a) Action
(b) Draft
(c) Direct Action

(7) Church

On January: 23, 1968, the fifth source advised a meeting
of the Trade Union CP Club was held at Tacoma, Washington, on
January 18, 1968, at which EMELITA CASSIDY, also known as MILLIE
CASSIDY, a member of that club, reported on her trip to Washington,
D.C. She stated she stayed at DONNA ALLEN's home there. She said
MARJORIE RADER got an eye infection which kept her from going to
the march. RADER remained at ALLEN's residence. She added

ZEFRA STUDAMIRE shouldn't have gone because she was uncooperative
and would not attend anything. She was rude, said her bed was

too low and complained about the food. Some or all of these

troubles might be attributed to the fact STUDAMIRE is expecting
a baby in April. CASSIDY stated there were too many rules to
follow.

The delegates weren't premitted to carry a nail file,
wear peace buttons, or exhibit RANKIN buttons. They had to walk
six abreast and were not allowed to march around the White
House. She said a suit will be brought in court for this
denial of their rights. She went on to state each person had
or was given $10.00 to carry on his person so he could not
be arrested for vagrancy.

CASSIDY said a nurse, Mrs. HELEN Mz COOK, had been
very helpful to the group. COOK told CASSIDY she could be reached
at 719 Beechwood Road, Media, Pennsylvania, if more information
is desired concerning Veterans for Peace, which was not further
described.

GUY RADER, a CP member at this meeting, tried to stop
CASSIDY when the latter complained ZEFRA STUDAMIRE was too
immature to have been sent to the conference, but CASSIDY wasn't
easy to stop. She was incensed over the fact money had been used
for STUDAMIRE's trip and the latter refused to cooperate. RADER
and STUDAMIRE remained in Washington, D.C. after the conference
to handle some business with the Student Non-Violent Coordinating
Committee (SNCC) according to CASSIDY.

SNcc is an organization which has concerned
itself with racial matters in the United
States. C. P. Aamrern _C. P, MesrREY

Tadians opposes <cnis distortion of hiscory. Beatings and murder of Indians

ad taine go unchallenged. Congress voted in 195 to open up Indian land

veservations to state jurisdiction. In actuality, this rides established

tribal courts and federal jurisdiction. It gives local bigoted authorities

uore opportunizy to harrass and open the way to termination of our treaties

and in several places resulted in actual loss of land,

It is as deadly to be an Indian in America as it is to be a soldier
in Viet Nam. In the three years before 1907, more Indian children below the
age of 18 had died in this country than the 6,623 U. S. combat casualties of
tle entire Viet Nam War (as of the end of 1966). Most of these were children
below the age of six,

The price we pay is the built-in racism our children are taught in
school, over television, in-cartoons; the Indian has become a joke, to white
Americans. We pay because we don't know our own history.

= ee eee

fe ot

The thread of struggle for self-determination runs through the history
of Indian~Americans, When a few Indian youth speak of Red Power, the roots go
i deep into their history in finding nourishment for this demand. Just as some
Negro leaders today speak of W.E.B. DuBois as having raised the same issue of
identity long before the level of struggle, which is Black Power, arrived.
This struggle has gone on for 400 years.

aa

The Indian people have been sendins spokesmen to bring their grievances
“and their positions before the power structure of this country for two hundred
years. They have fought in the courts since at least 1330 when the case of
the Cherokee Nation vs, Georgia tested the ability and the willingness of the
United States to protect an Indian Tribe in its efforts at self£-determination.

7 The Vietnamese war is a continuation of the whole racist war we have.

‘ waged against the Indian People. Understanding this is a part of understanding
the Viet Nam war. We respond to what is happening to Vietnamese children, yet .
the Indian people have suffered from the same policy of extermination and aa
destruction of their identity.

am,

We must unite with ‘the strivings of those who have had to deal with
United States’ genocide for 209 years!

2 he

We can help to push the United States to ratify the United Nations
Resolution, "Treaty Against Genocide", that the United States should correct
: the history and policy of genicide against the Indian people. Today this
refers to the destruction of their identity as'a people and linke with the
struggles of people for their identity all over the world. To stop the policy
i of genocide, of racism, to develop compensatory steps to undo the effects of
the crimes against the Indian people, to remove the oppression of the Indian >
people! ae aw. rs noel as

All the forces in this country cannot-win democratic power without
wacing this correction of what was done to the American Indian people.

and unconstitutional infringement Of their rirse Amen
free speech and the ry to petition their government for a redress of

grievances.

u wee
Upon informing the Capitol Police of their planned march to the Capitol building
to present their petition, the wonen were threatened with arrest under ho u,8.C.
193 (a) et. seq. which, after Cefining the area ccnsidcrcd Capitol Grounds, states:

"It is forbidden to parade, stand, or move in processions

or assemblages in said United States Capitol Grounds, or to ,
display therein any flag, banner, or device designed or
adapted to bring into public notice any party, organization, |
or movement......"

The statute further provides that exceptions from these prescriptive provisions
will be made in the discretion of certain Congressional leaders and/or Capitol
Police. The exceptions are allowed on “ocassions of national interest becoming
the congnizance and entertainment of Congress."

The petition of the Jeannette Rankin Brigade apparently does not become "the
entertainment of Congress" and arrests were threatened. Therefore the suit which
was files prays for the convening of a three-judge Federal District Court which
is requested to enjoin the operation and enforcement of the statute and to
declare it unconstitutional. We have asked the Federal District Court for the
District of Columbia to grant us this relief on an emergency basis prior to
January 15th, Our request was denied. The same request was made to the District
of Columbia Court of Appeals and was likewise denied. As it was then impossible
to ottain relief prior to January 15th the Brigade's attorneys are continuing the
appeal on a non-emergency basis in the Court of Appeals and have every confidence
of ultimate victory. .

This is far from the last time that these women or any other Americans intend
to appear in their nation's Capitol to petition their government. Hopefully this _
will be the last time that they find it so difficult to do so.

“orn welfare programs in the United States begon with passage of
vue Eacial Security Acty--1n 1935, authorizing federal grants to
y states for public assistance and child welfare programs, ‘un 2637,
the Washington Lesirl.itre remcaled the Paupers Law of 1654 and
enactcd a State Social Security Law. "Welfare" hos toen a bone of
“ contention ever since.
. Greenleigzh Report woe . .
In 1963, the Washington Legislature appropriated $20,000 for a study
of the state's public assistance programs. ‘The study was made by
Greenleigh Associates, and the Greenleigh Report was presented in
December, 1964,
This report stated that public assistance grants in
Washington, with standar s based on 1959 prices and
12% ratable reductions,t® *e 40% below the minimum
Standards for health and decency. Speaking of child ’
welfare needs, the report said:"There is an excessive
and increasing rate of referral of children to the
Juvenile Courts, both for dependency and delinquency,
There ls an excessive and increasing trend for children
to be removed from their natural families and cared
for elsewhere,"
WHAT ABOUT RATABLE REDUCTIONS?

a al an mbalnod s

The 1965 Legislature removed the ratable reductions, The 1967
Legislature ordered the Dept, of Public Assistance to bring itts
pricing standard's up to 1967 levels,

New standards were put into effect July first. Increased allowances
for rent vary from county to county. Other allowances were increased
an average of 10-3/4%-In King County the total increase was 16%.
Thus, Kang County grants have been increased by 28% since 1964,
but the cost of living has increased by at least 5%, Grants are stil
17% less than acceptable levels,

The maximum grant for a Seattle family consisting of

two adults, a boy 13, and a girl 8, is $285.80 4

Federal Social Security Law cast a shadow on even

WORKERS WORLD PARTY

On April 17, 1959, a confidential source advised
that on February 12, 1859, a Socialist Workers Party (SWP)
minority group under the leadership of National Committee
member SAM BALLAN, split from the SWP.

The source stated that this minority ground,
veferred to as the Marcyites, after many years of program
and policy differences on varied issues concerhing tactics
and interpretation of political events » split from the SWP
on the grounds that the Party was liquidating itself by
departing from the Marwist wrecapts of LEON TROTSKY and
retreating from the fight for the world socialist
revolution. The final issue which ultimately forced the
split was the minority's ovposition to the SWP regroupment
policy which involved cooperation with the Communist Party.

(CP) periphery-individuals characterized by the minority
as petty-—bourgeois,

The minority program, according to the source,
advocated unconditional defense of the Soviet Union and has
as its goal the building of a revolutionary party with a
complete proletarian orientation for the purpose of overthrowing
capitalism in the United States and throughout the world,

. On Mav 12, 1960, source advised that this minority
group had chosen the name Workers World Party.

on May 1s 1967, a second cor :fidential source
advised that the Workers World Party, which maintains head- .
quarters at 46 West 21st Street, New York, New York, supports

the People's Republic of China in its ideological dispute
with the Soviet Union.

The SWP and CP have been designated
pursuant to Executive Order 10450,

First source advised on October 15, .1971, that the

November 20, 1971, rally has received mixed support. from
various Washington ;- -D, Ces women:'s Liberation groups.

Several radical women's groups refused to endorse the November
20, 1971, action because “they view it as a Young Socialist
Alliance (Y3A)/Socialist Workers Party (SHE) Front which will
use these rallies to further its own recruitment drive.
Furthermore, they considered YSA/SWP to be "non-feminist".

DEMONSTRATIONS, WASHINGTON, D. C., AND

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, NOVEMBER 20, 1971,
SPONSORED BY THE-WOMEN'S NATIONAL ABORTION,
ACTION COALITION _

Ie

This memorandum advises of demonstrations being scheduled in
Washington, D. C., and San Francisco, California, on 11/20/71 to build
public support for the repeal of antiabortion laws. .

The Women's National Abortion Action Coalition was formed at a
conference held at Columbia, University, New York City, in July, 1971, which
was attended by approximately 1,000 women from 29 states. The conference
voted to make a woman's right to abortion a national and political issue.
Subsequent to ” its formation, the coalition called for demonstrations in
San Francisco and Washington on 11/20/71 to build public support for the /
repeal of all antiabortion laws, to protest forced sterilization, andtocall ~”
for an end to restrictive contraceptive laws. A source of the Washington —
Field Office has advised that the march in Washington is supported by the
Young Socialist Alliance, the youth group of the Socialist Workers Party
(SWP). Caro//Lipman, who is a member of the SWP, is Project Director “~~ ~~
of the Washington march.

py

Coalition leaders in requesting permit for the demonstration have
lestimated that participation in the Washington march will range between
{10,000 and 20,000 persons. The Washington Field Office has developed
information that 46 buses have been chartered to bring participants to the
demonstration. Participants will represent some 80 cities. The Metropolitan
Police Department anticipates participation will be in the vicinity Of 5 5; ope person

_ the 1972 SWP Presidential candidate. Though not confirmed, Congress-

We have included all pertinent information concerning this
march in our summary teletype to The White House, the Vice President,
Secret Service, the Attorney General, and military intelligence agencies.

There have been no traffic restrictions placed in effect
by the Metropolitan Police Department to date. However, this would be
a later consideration as the date of the march approaches.

It appears that the route of march will definitely affect

ACTION COALTION (WONAAC )

"These groups, which joined in July (1971)

to form the Women's National Abortion Action
moss" (WONAAC) , are organizing a march
Nov. 26 (1971) in Washington planned to take
then past the White House, the Supreme Court
and the Cavitol--institutions which they feel
can effect significant changes in existing
abortion laws. They are expecting what they
call a conservative estimate of between

10, 009 ~ ~20,090 persons, but are hoping for thousands
more,"

On November 10, 1971, source one made available the

following leaflet issued by the Los Angeles Women's Abortion
Action Committee (LAWAAC), an affiliate of the WONAAC,

and annoucing a demcnstration to be held November 20, 1971,
at San Francisco, California, to protest abortion laws and
forced sterilization and restrictive contraception laws.

Embarcadero, en route to the Civic Center, San Francisco,
They carried sigus such as "free cur women" and "separate
church and state". By 12:30 p.m., the marchers had
arrived at the Civic Center where a female rock hand was
performing. A rally. was held at the Civic Center from
approximately 1:45 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., addressed by indi-
viduals supporting repeal of abortion laws.

There were no incidents or arrests with regard

-to the march and rally, according to San Francisco Police

Department records, and the official police estimate cf
the crowd attending the rally wee epprovirctely e@ish
“ - a ma ~

. huncred individuals. .

The Sunday, November 21, 1971, edition of the
"San Francisco Examiner", a San Francisco, California,

_Gaily newspaper, in an article entitled "Pro and@ Anti-

Abortion Forces Hold Rallies", described HELEN MEYERS,
one of the speakers at the Civic Center rally, as

SPONSORED DEMONSTRATION
November 20, 1971
Washington, D, C.

The WONAAC is self-described in its literature

as being formed by the national conference of

more than 1,000 women held in New York City,

New York, in July 1971. -At that conference,

women from 29 states and 253 organizations came
together to unite their efforts in the national
fight for the repeal of all aborticn laws and

for the corollary demands of no forced sterilization
and repeal of contraception laws, The conference
called for a massive show of force for these goals
in a march on Washington, D. C., and San Francisco,
California, November 20, 1971. WONAAC is based

on a program of legislative, judicial, and

mass demonstration activities on a local and
national level, and seeks to unite all women in
the fight for the right of abortion.

On November 28, 1971, source one advised that on

Pitty Los Angeles, ‘Gala? ornia,. “area “Gngividuals “Prom Tos An jgeles. «

to San Francisco to participate in a demonstration held in’ that

city on November 20, 1971, and sponsored by WONMAAC to protest

abortion laws, forced sterilization, and restrictive contraception

laws. This bus left Los Angeles at aporoximately 10:00 p.m, on
“November 19, 1971, and returned to the Los Angeles area during

the evening of November 20, 1971.

RE: WOMEN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE OF MARYLAND
INTERNAL SECURITY - COMMUNIST
(TROTSKYIST )
ra On November 13, 1971, a source advised that the

Women's National Abortion Coalition (WONAAC) planned to
hold demonstrations at Washington; D. C. and San Francisco,
California on November 20, 1971. The purpose of the
demonstrations were to call for the repeal of all abertion,
contraception and forced sterilization laws. The "Women's
Right to Choose of Maryland, the Baltimore, Maryland
affiliate of WONAAC was to organize busing and housing
arrangements for out-of-state women.

On November 22, 1971, a source advised that the
Women's Right to Choose of Maryland, working from 3028
Greenmout Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland, were unsuccessful
in attempts to generate enthusiasm for the WONNAC demonstration
among Baltimore area women. Therefore, the plan to charter
a bus for the purpose of transporting demonstrators to the
Washington, D. C. rally was cancelled,

On November 30, 1971, a second source advised
that the Women! s Right to Choose of Maryland had been
formed as an “ad hoc" group for the specific purpose of
supporting the Novenber 20, 1971 Washington, D. C. demonstra-
tion. The source further stated that tne Women's Right 1
to Choose of Maryland ceased to exist, following this i
demonstration, and is now defunct.

Re: Women's National Abortion Action
Coalition (WONAAC) Convention,
February 11 - 13, 1972
Boston, Massachusetts

On February 18, 1972, source, who has furnished
reliable information in the past, furnished the following
information:

A Women's National Abortion Action Coalition
(WONAAC) Convention was held on the Boston University campus,
Boston, Massachusetts, during the period of February 11 -
13, 1972,

«Moshe on ~rreenennet ett tek eration tliat,

samen sane -

Approximately 1,000 persons were in attendance
at this convention which was held to determine future action
of WONAAC and to allow diverse factions within the Women's
i Abortion Movement to join ranks under one issue,

wee

Female members of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP)
. and Young Socialist Alliance (¥YSA) from all over the county
; were requested by the national office of the SWP ami YSA
to attend this convention in order to insure the effective
control of the convention by the SWP,

_.. .' As the youth organization of the Socialist,
Workers Party (SUP), the Young Socialist’ Alliante*
¥SA8) serves as the main source of recruitment
into that organization. The YSA is described
in the masthead of its official publication,
"The Young Socialist Organizer," as "A multi-
national revolutionary socialist youth organi-

I zation,"

The SYP has been designated pursuant to
Executive Order 10450,

Re: WONAAC

The SYP specifically wished the convention to ~-
adopt a one-issue position, that being the complete
control of the female body by the individual female.

This specific issue, “women control their bodies” was
adopted by the wonent S organization and all other propo-~
sals were rejected,

Workshops were organized for each of the many
separate racial and ethnic groups represented at the
conference, Workshops were based on appeal to the speci-
fic group intended and all were supposedly controlled by
the SWP,

A Black, Raza, Asian-American women's workshop
was held on February 12, 1972, with 35 persons attending.
Among the issues discussed at the workshop were the
attempts of democratic and republican presidential candi-
dates to capitalize on minority group attitudes in regard
to the abortion movement and the fact that minority groups
all to often find themselves without a voice when real
issues are involved,

UPL aniNijes Rudelde “Abin iiaue etal ouaa

Of particular importance to the group was the
La Raza tmida Perty, a legitixate political varty in Texas
whieh serves to unite Mexican Americans. Of equal impor-
tance was the Gay Liberation Movement, which the group
felt expresses the plight of gay females who do not want
children and are forced to live with men because of the
mores of American society.

<< UES Bee

. Attendees agreed that the one issue of abortion
eo. law repeal-.will serve to unite women rnnder ona Sanner ‘and *
more effectively serve the Woren's Movement.

NT nike dinates Wee

The convention adjourned after an agreement that
an “Abortion Action Week" would be held May 1 - 6, 1972.
This action would serve to kéep public attention focused
on the need to legalize abortion and to seek effective
support from the many thousands of women who want to right
to choose,

II. ACTIVITIES

A, Conferences and Demonstrations

1. WONAAC Founding Conference was held in New York
City, New York, July 16-18, 1971. This conference called for
national demonstrations to be held on November 20, 1971, in

WDC and San Francisco, California, around the theme of "Reneal

of All Abortion Laws,"

CWP T-1, 7/21/71)

a. On November 20, 1971, approximately 1,500 women,
representing womens liberation groups from the East Coast and
Mid-West, gathered or the Elliose in WOC, in response to the
call by WONAAC to march on the United States Capitol to demand
the repeal of all abortion laws. This group departed the
Ellipse at approximately 10:30 a.m. on that date and marched.
along Tennsylvania Avenus, N.W., to che west side of the Capitol
Building. There the marchers ass embied for a rally which
concluded at approximately 4:00 p.m. on the same date. There
were no incidents of violence and the march and rally were
peaceful throughout.

(WF T-1, 11/23/71)

b. On January 13, 1972, a WONAAC sponsored demonstra-
tion was held from 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the vicinity of

and the demonstration ended without incident.

(Physical observation, Special
Agents, FBI, 1/13/72)

2. Second WONAAC Conference was held in Boston,
Massachusetts, February 11-13, 1972. Approximately 1,300
women attended the conference, which once again re- established
and reiterated WONAAC's call for abortion on demand. It was
noted during the conference that WONAAC had been unable to
create anything like a national campaign and that local meetings
across the country had been disappointingly small. It was
pointed out that WONAAC had failed to attract the large numbers
of working women, housewives, and students concerned with the
abortion issue, including the majority of women's liberationists
and abortion reform activists. It was felt that the movement
could not succeed without the support of the working women.

; WONAAC strongly endorsed
the "Abortion Rights Act of 1972,'' which\is to be introduced in
the U. S. Congress by Congresswoman BELLA MBZUG from New York.
This bill would override all laws which impose sanctions upon
those who choose to exercise their individual right to an abortion.

activity or signs on any bulletin boards from the period
of approximately January, 1972 until school closed in
May, 1972. This source was contacted 5/16/72. He stated
also at that time, that LINDA LOEW has been a close
associate of BETTY SACHS who is the leader of the Young
Socialist Alliance Chapter on campus at the University.
Informant stated that there was no organization formed to
his knowledge of a Womens Abortion Action Coalition in
the Binghamton area. i

Other sources familiar with New Left activities
on the campus of the State University of New York at
Binghamton, were contacted during May, 1972, and two
sources advised that they knew of no organization of
Womens Abortion Action Coalition on the campus or in the
Binghamton vicinity during the past year.

Albany Division has had an investigation pending

on LINDA LOEW and a report is being written with appropriate

recommendation for administrative action on LINDA LOEW.
In view of the lack of activity of an Abortion Coalition

organization in the Binghamton area, no further investigation

is being conducted by Albany.

Ie ORGANIZATION

A. Origin and Objectives

BS Tel
November 17, 1971

BOWASC was originally a subcommittee of FL
in the Greater Boston Area but as cf Jenuary, 1972, had
grown into @ separete group whose specific interest was
in abortion reform. Individuals ective in BOWAAC are

‘also active in other FL work; however, all individuals

active in FL work are not active in BOWAAC, with BOWAAC

being the smaller of the two groups.

BS Tel i
January 12, 1972

WONAAS hes been publicly ceseribad

‘as an organization of groups whose aim’
is to effect the overthrow cf existing
abortion laws and to establish free.
abortion on demand, ‘

The "Boston Globe", a daily newspaper published

‘in Boston, in its February 13, 1972-edition, carried an

article entitled "Abortion Strategy Discussed" which in
part reported that more than 800 women from across the
country had gathered for a conference at Boston University
the weekend of February 11-13, 1972 to plan a strategy

to win repeal of all laws that prohibit abortion. Accor
ing to the article, it was expected that the conference
would endorse the latest Federal bill to nullify all

state laws restricting ebortion = "The Abortion Rights

Act of 1972", to be introduced by United States Congress-
woman BELLA ABZUG from New York, The article reported |
thet discussion at the conference had centered around
whether or not to adopt the slogan "Free Abortion on
Demand; No Forced Sterilization" or to focus on a

single issue ~- repeal of the abortion laws. It further
reported that & proposal was presented for an Abertion
Action Week, May 1 to 6, 1972, to include educational proe-
grams, legislative support, judicial action and local or

regional demonstrations centering around the demand for

vepeal o£ all anti-abortion and anti-contraception Laws
and an end to forced sterilization.

JANE ROLAND, identified in the article as
coordinator of BOWALG, was reported to havea stated that
whatever the conference does netionally her orsanizat ion
would be acting at: the Aocal level.

Confexence at Boston University was in the form of

work, with ideas being exchanged between individuals

Boston. The major theme appeared to be how to strengthen

Re: National Women's Political Caucus (NWPC)
Policy Council Meeting

Source, who has furnished reliable information in ‘the
past, provided the following information on July 3, 1972:

A Policy Council Meeting of the National Women's
Political Caucus (NWPC) was held in Washington, D.C. during
the period June 24, 1972 - June 25, 1972.

The NNPC is a legitimate, loosely-knit, open

organization of politically motivated women

seeking equal recognition in the American
community.

During the Policy Council Meeting there were no
overt attempts by any organized group to influence the nolicv
meeting and there were no individuals present who identified
themselves as members of any organization which might be construed
as subversive and/or sunporting any cause except lecitimate
change.

A

Of significance, however, was the fact that literature ‘|
of the Women's National Abortion Action Coalition (NOMAAC) was
present in brochures and pamphlets located throughout the meeting
area. All of the WONAAC material was geared to the abortion
movement and specifically the WONAAC conference scheduled for
Hunter College, New York, July 15 ~ 16, 1972.,.

WONAAC was founded in July, 1971. for the purrose of
forming a national movement of groups scattered
throughout the United States whe favor and

now work to legalize abortion. The Young Socialist
Alliance (YSA) and Socialist Workers Party (SWP)

are playing a major role in WONAAC.

The SWPP has been designated pursuant to
Executive Order 10450.

Re: NWPC Policy Council Meeting

ne eee ett ee geen mam

As the youth organization of the SWP, the

YSA serves as the main source of récruitment into
that organization. The YSA is described in the
masthead of its official publication, “The Young
Socialist Organizer," as “a multinational
revolutionary socialist youth organization.”

During the council meeting on June 24, 1972, Mary
Clarke, who is associated with the Southern California WPC,
an affiliate of the NWPC, advised a group of volicy council
members that WONAAC had been using the Southern California WPC
name as an endorser of WONAAC. Clarke also stated that MIONAAC
had passed out propaganda at a caucus rally in California and
were very effective at taking control of small gatherings.

The Chairwoman from Nassau County in New York, whose
name was not recalled, defended WONAAC stating that "thev were
a good group". This woman's position was not supported and,
in general, WONAAC literature was not accepted bv those versons
present. Jill Ruckelshaus, a new member of the Policy Council,
is reportedly concerned about the SWP's attempts to align
itself with the abortion movement and will be using her newlv
gained position to fight SWP attemnts at control of local
WPC groups.

The NWPC organizing brochure nublished by the NWPC
has been written to assist individual WPC groups in organizing.
The brochure lists political varties and nara-volitical
organizations to be contacted by caucus organizers when forming
the nucleus of a WPC. Among those listed was the SWP. After
discussions at the caucus it was determined that the SWP should |
be removed from the list. The new edition of the WPC organizing -
brochure will not list the SWP; it has been replaced by National
Peace Action Coalition (NPAC). :

the HPAC was founded in 1970 by members of the SWP.
Its basic objective is to unite masses of people
including labor unions, GIs, and the black
community in the struqgle to end United States
intervention in Southeast Asia through orderly and
peaceful tactics. .

PHILADELPHIA WOMEN'S NATIONAL
ABORTION ACTION COALITION /

PH T-1 advised on May 25, 1972, that Women United for
Abortion Rights (WUAR), 1115 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa.,
telephone WA-2-0381, is the local affiliate of Women's National
Abortion Action Coalition (WONAAC) and that about two weeks ago
WUAR decided to change their name from WUAR to Philadelphia Women's
National Abortion Action Coalition (Philadelphia WONAAG) and that
they intended t6 utilize the same office space at 1115 Walnut
Street and the same telephone number. PH T-1 added that this
change was made inasmuch as the name WUAR was found to be unwieldy
and awkward and that it did not convey the group's affiliation with
WONAAC as well as the new name Philadelphia WONAAC.

An article in "The Sunday Bulletin," Section 2, pages
6 and 7, issue of October 31, 1971, listed the various candidates
for political office in the City of Philadelphia in connection with
the forthcoming elections. Photographs of the following individuals
appeared and background information contained under each individual
photograph indicated that all were members of the Socialist
Workers Party (SWP) and that they were also affiliated with the
WUAR. and/or WONAAC:

PH T~1 advised on May 25, 1972 that it is difficult
to determine the actual degree of SWP participation in the affairs
of WONAAC in the Philadelphia area and that he was not aware of
any information which would reflect that Philadelphia WONAAC was
substantially controlled by the SWP. Source explained that the
abortion rights issue had frequently been discussed at many of the -
recent public forum type meetings sponsored by the Philadelphia
SWP and held at the Philadelphia SWP Headquarters at 1004 Filbert
Street in Philadelphia. The discussions held on the abortion
rights issue indicated that the SWP felt that the capitalistic
system had used the dual issues of abortion and women's liberation
to keep women in a position of inferiority, whereas the socialistic
system being promoted by the SWP would be in favor of abortion and
women's liberation, and WONAAC would therefore naturally attract
members of the SWP to their organization.

Reurlet and LHM dated 7/27/72.

Referenced letter stated that activities of captioned
organization in Philadelphia did not appear to be within the
Bureau's investigative interest and, therefere, no additional
investigation vould be conducted.

As you are aware, the Socialist Workers Party (SWP)
and the Young Socialist Allianee (ZSA) play a major role in.
Women’s National Abortion Action Coalition CWORAAC) throughout -
the United States. Althoucsh a source of your office claimed

‘" " he was not aware of any information indicating WOMAAC in .
Philadelphia is substantially controlled by SHP, four individuals
‘whose photographs appeared in a Philadelphia paper, were
identified as members of the SYP as well as WONAAG. Based on.
this as well as the established fact that WONAAC is, for the
most part, totally controlled. by SWP/YSA, it is basic that
the activities & this organization be followed by your office.

The Women's Wational Abortion
Action Coalition

Confidential sources one, two and three, all of
whom haye furnished reliable information in the past, advised
on July 18, 19, and 20, 1972, respectively, that a Women's
National Abortion Action Coalition (&HAAC) Conference was
held at Hunter College, Park Avenue and 69th Street, on
July 15 and 16, 1972. .

Confidential source number one advised that
New York City was’ picked for the site of this convention
because this city is considered to be the center of the most
powerful anti-abortinn effort so far.

The WONAAC Conference was open to all women
‘who supported the Abortion Law Repeal Movement. Registration
was $3.00 per person, Housing and child care facilities were
available, There were approximately 800 women in attendance
at this conference,

Discussions reld at this conference centered on
plans for (@nerfuture activity in the campaign to repeal
all anti-abortion and contraception laws and two}to end
forced sterilization,

A Giscussion was held concerning the attacks
being made by the Catholic Church Hierarchy and other
anti-abortion groups against women's rights to their
own bodies,

WONAAC is aware of the fact that progress for
these matters will not come easy,-that it will be fought by
various groups step by step all the way, therefore, this
eonferencé was called to discuss all .the different approaches
and to decide on the major direction for WONAAC to take.

The Agenda for the conference followed the
proposed agenda cet forth by the Working Committee,
mentioneG above, with the exception of a change in
the lunch heur and some of the workshop schedules.

Prior to the Saturday conference, a Soclalist
Workers Party ~ Young Socialist Alllance (SWP-¥SA) Fraction
mecting was held at the Belmont Plasa Hotel on AGth Street
and Lexington Avenue at 0 AM. ‘fhose in ettendance at this
Faction meeting were SYVP~YSA comrades from HYC and Prom .
out of town. ‘The Giscussion at this .Faction meeting centered
on the procedure to he followed at the conference by the
YSA-SVP members in terms of voting on various workshops and
what stend to take which would be more beneficial for the
YSA-SYP. This “Faction meeting was concluded at approximately
9:30 FM. Fokmere MEMBER OF SUBJECT CLGANIZATION

coordinator. She addressed all YSA~SWP members at the
conference, asking them what. was their real reasen for
being in attendance at the WONAAC Conference. She
sceuged the YSA-SWP of not being sincerely interested
in abortion rights, but rather being interested in what
was best for the SWP-YSA. She stated that -: because of
the YSA-SVP influence being enforced on the conference,
she was resigning as a WOHAAC coordinator and staff member.

She gtated that she detested the intervention of the YSA-SWP

in this conference; that tne SWP-¥YSA has caused conflict among
the WOHAAC setarf and therefore, they cannot work out constructive
sclutions to their prodlems. She also suggested that the "Zero
Population" and planned parenthood have no voice in discussions
at this conference. Finalizing her accusations, she stated the
YSA-SHP members had no mind of their own nor did they heave any
freedom of expression of their own. She stated that they only

On duly 15, 1972, a proposal wasyassedby the
Election Workshop which etated in port as fellows:

. “WORAAC welcomes womon from’ all political
affiliations and views. We are united in action te
win our demands gusrantecing women the right to control.
our own reproduction functions,

"By uniting women of all political views we
maximize our strength. <Any attempt to impose one political
view on everyone in WONAAC would only destroy our ability to
fight together on the abortion question. Therefore kONAAC,
@s an organization takes no position on any candidates or
political parties...."

“The political rallies which will no doubt take
place with increa.ing frequency around the country as
November approaches orfer us a forum for getting our ideas
across to great numbers of women. Besides e@llowing us an
opportunity to force the candidates to take @ public stand
on abortion, these gatherings give us a chance to publicize
both WONAAC and the repeal campaign.”

The Women's ational Abortion

‘ A National VOHAAC structure proposal was
presented, which stated in part as follows:

“ALL women are welcome in WONAAG: Black,
Qatina, Chicena, Native American and Asian women, gay
omen, high school, college, and working women, women
from political orgnnizations, trade ano ons, the military,
nd communities across the country. We are united in un-
promising strugsle for our common goal: the right of
Hs to control fully their own reproductive lives..."

“Tho Nationai Conference shall be the highest
Gecielon-malking body of WONAAC, and shall operate on the
basia of one woman, one vote.

"There shall be a Nationel Coordinating Committee
(RCC) comsosed of one woman from cach national organization,

“there shail also be a Working Committee (WC),
which ts a sub-committee of the NCC and which is composed
of the project directors or coordinators, tne elected
national staff, and one woman from cach coalition, committee,
group and national organization supporting and building WONAAC
in the locale of the national office...”

In addition to the above, a proposal “that the
Wational Office of the Women's National Abortion Action
Goalition establish an emergency cash fund, from which te
contribute significant amounts of money to organizations
and individuals who are vorking to achieve goals compatible
with those of WONAAC..."

"That the National Office of WONAAC, as its first
act of financial support, pledge $2,000 to tha Kennedy-Schuiser
suit against the tax-cxempt status of the Roman Catholic Church,
einee the Church has violated restrictions on its political
activity by Lobbying for anti-abortion legislation.

"What the National Office of WONAAC pledged
$1,506 to the defense of the seven women arrested in
Chicago because of their alleged activity in abortion
counselling, referral, and procedure..."

"That the WONAAC Naticnal Office maintain,
at all times, a fund-raising starr efficient enough
to meet the needs of the emergency fund at the same
time it raises sufficient capital to maintain the ‘daily
expenses of the National Office and staff..."

confidential dgource number two related that the
evening plenary session of WONAAC occurred on July 15, 1972,
and it was immediately apparent that the Socialist .

Workers Party ~- Young Scajalist Alliance (SWP-YSA) group
dominated the meeting, Independent women who wanted to make
statements during this session were voted down by SWP floor
leaders and these same persons continued to vote as a bloc
on all issues,

The group of independent women from various geogra-
phic areas, that is those women who were not associated with the
SWP or YSA, went together after the plenary session was adjourned
and considered the problem of how to handle the SWP leaders.
While these women were not political realists in’ thelr goals,
they did believe in working throughout the existing system
rather than functioning with the SWP in their eventual goal
of revolution,

It was decided that the independent feminists would
no jJonger continue hassling within WONAAC. They did not want
te have decisions for them being structured by a male dominated
group, They also decided that money being collected by WONAAC
in the name of abortion law change was not being used for that
purpose, but rather to sustain members of the SWP-YSA.

The Sunday morning session, July 16, 1972, was
labeled "Meeting to Discuss Internal Hassles." About 35
independents attended and a few number of SWP-YSA members and
sympathizers were present. Independents there were from New
Haven, Boston, Detroit, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and
San Francisco, .

The independents did not waiver in their firm opposition
to SWP-¥SA control @ WONAAC. Six national coordinators of ;
WONAAC were independents anddecided to resign publicly at

the afternoon plenary session, They also decided to combat

There were approximately 700-800 women in attendance:
at the afternoon session. According to one of the SWP
leaders, these women were from 31 states and three countries- .
Canada, Italy and’ Sweden. The states that had more representation
than others were Ohio, Illinois, New York, and Massachusetts.

Most of the problems and differences between the
independents and the SWP centered around approaches to abortion
law reform, The SwWP was charged with always having demonstra-
tions and rallies and never doing any work through the legis-
lative process,

The independents stated that they were tired of this
hassle and that they believed there were more effective ways
to change abortion Jaws than carrying placards in the streets,

After the independent women publicly resigned in
front of the plenary session, two other coordinators announced
they were staying on. One was Barbara Roberts, the other's
name is unknown.

Linda Jenness made a final plea for the independent
women to reconsider. The removal of the independents from WONAAC
has debilitated the organization and most independent representa-
tives will be going back to their own cities to work for abortion
law change in organizations vhich have no connection with the
SWP,

The concern still exists, however, that WONAAC will
pe able to collect monies in the name of. abortion reform and

‘ - there is also the concern that women new to the movement will
join in a mistaken notion that'they will be furthering
abortion law reform.

Independents vowed before leaving New York that
they would try to publicize activities from the SWP in an
effort to prevent this.

As the youth orgenization of the Socialist
Workers Party (SWP), the YSA serves as the
main source of recruitment into that organ-
ization. The YSA is described in the masthead
of its official publication, "The Young
Socialist Organizer," -as "A multinational
revolutionary socialist youth orgenization."

The SWP has .been designated pursuant
to Executive Order 10450.

ReAL letter to New York, dated 8/30/72, wherein
Albany asked to be advised of any active investigation being
conducted re WONAAC, or if any active investigation is
warranted by Albany, FBI.

For the information of the Albany Division, the
New York Office is the office of origin, concerning captioned
organization. The Bureau has advised that as the Socialist
Workers Party and the Young Socialist Alliance play amajor
roll in WONAAC throughout the United States, and inasmuch
as information has been provided that WONAAC is, for the
most part, totally controlled by Socialist Workers Party/
Young Socialist Alliance, the activities of this aganization
should be followed, for the purpose of determining the
extent of influence and control... by individuals who are
members of Socialist Workers Party/ Young Socialist Alliance,
and who are acting on behalf of these organizations.

Based upon Bureau instructions, in light of
information set forth in referenced Albany letter, concerning
DIA RRY, an Socialist Workers Party organizer in the
Utica, New York area, and her r@orted communication with
national headquarters of WONAAC in New York City. It would
appear advisable for the Albany Division to institute such
investigation, as it deems appropriate to ascertain the extent
of Socialist Workers Party/Young Socialist Alliance activity
in its division in connection with WONAAC.

Re Minneapolis letter and letterhead memorandum
dated February 9, 1972.

The Bureau, by routing slip dated March 6, 1972,
advised that because of Socialist Workers Party (SWP) leader-
ship and interest in the above organization, this case was
to be kept in a pending status and its activities followed.

In accordance with the above instructions, the
Bureau is being furnished the original and five (5) copies
of a letterhead memorandum prepared under the title, "Minnesota
Women's Abortion Action Coalition."

The enclosed letterhead memorandum is classified
confidential because it contains information from MP T-1
through MP T-4, the unauthorized disclosure of which could
reasonably result in compromising the identity of the source
and, therefore, impair the national defense interests of y 1
United States.

Information concerning individuals named in the
enclosed letterhead memorandum has previously been ta one
to the Bureau and these individuals have been placed on

ADEX in the past.

these discussions were proposed attendance by local repre~
sentatives at a WONAAC conference scheduled to be held at
Boston, Massachusetts, February 11-13, 1972. At a meeting
held April 3, 1972, discussions centered around a report
presented concerning an abortion action week scheduled to
be held in May, 1972, culminating in a May 6 rally at the
State Capitol Building in St. Paul, Minnesota.

The Young Socialist Alliance-Twin Cities
Group is the Youth Branch of the Twin Cities
Branch~Socialist Workers Party (TCB-SWP) , an.
affiliate of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP).

As the youth organization of the Socialist —
Workers Party (SWP), the Young Socialist Alliance
(YSA) serves as the main source of recruitment
into that organization. The YSA is described,in
the masthead of its official publication, "The
Young Socialist Organizer," as "A multinational
revolutionary socialist youth organization."

The MWAAC rally held May 6, 1972, began at the
residence of the governor of the State of Minnesota, 1006 .
Summit Avenue, St. Paul, Minnesota, at approximately 3:30P.M.
and proceeded to the State Capitol Building where the rally
calling for the repeal of all abortion laws and emphasizing
the demand for the right to legal abortions was held. The
rally was held without incident and speakers identified
included representatives from the YSA-TCG and the TCB~SWP.
Jane Van Deusen was the principle speaker for the MWAAC
at this rally which ended at approximately 5:30 P.M,

MP T-1 on

The principle speaker in favor of legal abortion
in the State of Minnesota at the rally held in St. Paul,
Minnesota, on May 6, 1972, was Jane Van Deusen from Minne-

decided that an International Tribunal was pianned for
October 21, 1972. The International Tribunal would be
held in New York City, New York, and it was hoped that
plans could be made for a local tribunal scheduled to be
held October 13, 1972, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after
which individuals would be designated to attend the inter-
national meeting scheduled for New York City. This’ July,
1972, meeting was the first activity on the part of the
MWAAC as a ‘nett~organized effort following the May 6, 1972,
rally. . .

a _ MP T~1 on
re ; August 9, 1972

Individuals known to be involved in the women's
liberation movement in the Twin Cities area of Minneapolis
and St. Paul, Minnesota, have, during the past six months,
shown little or no interest in the organization known as the
MWAAC. Former leaders in the women's liberation movement
have become aware of the SWP influence among the leaders of
the group, and have adopted a hands off policy from active
participation in the affairs of this group. While the
May 6, 1972, rally in St. Paul, Minnesota, was attended by
some 200 individuals, their attendance was considered to be
due to individual interest in the abortion issue.

MP T-2 on
August 17, 1972

SWP INFLUENCE

The MWAAC is not a committee of the TCB-SWP, nor
is it a part of the YSA-TCG. Women's liberation is a topic
of general interest and concern to the membership of the
TCB~-SWP, and the anti-abortion standard taken by MWAAC is
one aspect of the women's liberation movement of continued
interest.

: ‘Members of the YSA-TCG have in the past, expressed
interest in the support of women's liberation as a matter of
policy. The anti-abortion, or so called legal abortion
movement, is one aspect of this women's Liberation movement
which continues to be of concern to members of the YSA-~TCG,
both male and female. While the vast majority of women in
the State of Minnesota support either the repeal or changes
in present state laws on abortion, supporters of this repeal
or change also include professional women, medical doctors,
lawyers, municipal court judges; and individuals from all
walks of life. . .

in New York City (NYC), details of which will be set out”

more fully hereinafter.

As the youth organization of the
SWP, the YSA serves as the main
source of recruitment into that
organization. The YSA is described
in the masthead of its official |
publication, "The Young Socialist
Organizer", as "a Multi-National
Revolutionary Socialist Youth
Organization". .

The SWP has been designated pur-
suant to Executive Order 10450.

I. ORGANIZATIONAL DATA ;
A. Origin and Scope

_ NY T-2 on July 21, 1971, and NY T-3 on October 1,
1971, furnished information that over 1,000 women met in
conference at Columbia University, NYC, NY, on July 16;
1971, through July 18, 1971, to form a National Movement
of independent groups scattered throughout the United
States (US) who favored and had worked to legalize abortion.
As a result of this conference, WONAAC was founded.

B. Aims and Purposes

In the WONAAC national newsletter, dated September 16,
1971, WONAAC was self-described as a nationaily coordina-
ted abortion law repeal campaign including legislation,
legal action, and nationally coordinated mass demonstrations
in Washington, DC, and San Francisco, on November 20, 1971,°
for the repeal of all anti-abortion laws and corollary
demands of no forced sterilization, and the repeal of all
restrictive contraception laws. WONAAC claims to reach
all women, black; Chinaca; Latina; Asian; Puerto Rican;
native American women; campus women; gay women; high
school women; housewives; professional, welfare, and
working women; young women; women from churches, political
organizations, trade unions, the military, and communities |
across the country.

C. Headquarters

On November 22, 1972, a Special Agent (SA) of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), utilizing a
pretext, contacted an individual self-identified as CAROL
EATON at telephone number 675-9150, located at 150 5th
Avenue, NYC, NY. EATON, who stated she is currently a
National Staff member of WONAAC, advised that the National
and NY Staffs of- WONAAC are headquartered at this address:

D. When Meetings Held

According to CAROL EATON, regular NY Coalition
meetings of WONAAC are held every other Wednesday evening
at Religious Center at New York University, .2 Washington
Square North, NYC, NY. EATON stated that most NY State
staff members are present at these meetings and at least
one or more National Staff members also try to be in
attendance, Other than this, state and national staffs
meet periodically, as business demands.

ER. Officers

EATON identified the following individuals as

current officers of WONAAC:

F. Membership and Finances

According to EATON, WONAAC does not maintain a
formal membership, as such, and financially exists only
through voluntary contributions. She stated that all
staff members, National and NY State, serve on a voluntary
basis, receive no salary, and get only a small "“subsistance
allowance" which the staff has found necessary to supplement |
with their own personal funds in order to get by.

G. WONAAC Affiliates

CAROL EATON stated there are presently 36 WONAAC
affiliates, also called “coalitions” throughout the US, and
that most states of the union are represented by an affiliate .
or coalition.

Ii. YSA-SWP INFLUENCE AND CONTROL
OVER WONAAC

WY T-1 provided information on July 22, 1971,
that the First National Womens Abortion Conference was .
held at Columbia University, NYC, NY, from July 16, 1971,
to July 18, 1971, which resulted in the founding of WONAAC.
NY T-1 stated that it was immediately apparent that this
conference was taken over and influenced by YSA-SWP members
who infiltrated the various conference committees and
workshops which were established to help formulate the
main direction the Coalition would follow in the future.
NY T-1 stated that it seemed certain the YSA-SWP would,
in the future, dictate policy for this organization and
would be able to control the utilization of WONAAC funds.

On August 5, 1971, NY T-4 provided a leaflet
captioned, “What Every Woman Should Know". This leaflet,
which was published by Feminist Organization for Communi-
cation; Action and Service (F.0.C.A.S.), related the following:

"The Womens National Abortion Coalition has
been icalled and organized by the SWP and its affiliate,
the YSA, including women supposedly representing Women's
Liberation groups, who in truth represent, first, the

NW 88321 Docld:32989546 Page 293


NY LOQ-174481° 0+.

SWP and YSA. These women attach more importance to their
political movement than to the Women's Liberation Movement.
And when 77% of the women in this country are for reform
of abortion laws, there is fertile soil for a political: .
party to build itself on. The SWE/XSA 1 realizes this and
is taking advantage of it." : _

On August 5, 1971, a leafict
captioned uF, 0.C.A.S." revealed
in part as follows:

ee "A nucleus of about eight feminists
: , have formed FOCAS, Feminist .
Organization for Communication ,
Action and Service. FOCAS evolved!
from the Women's Strike Coalition
(WSC), which the Socialist Workers
Party abruptly abandoned on May
25th in order to form the committee
for WONAAC. Since that time a
nucleus of women from WSC together
with like-minded feminists pre-
served the WSC in order to main-
tain and expand a multi-issue
action-oriented Women's Libera-
tion coalition in the NYC area.
Assisted by loans from supporting
feminists, the new WSC paid
back nearly a thousand of the- ©
three thousand dollars of debts
incurred by the SWP women who
had controlled the old WSC.

The "Militant” issue of August 6, 1971, page five,
in an article entitled, “Abortion Campaign Counters Red-
Baiting", revealed in part, with respect to the founding
WONAAC conference in July, 1971:

"The Militant" is a weekly news~-
paper of the SWP. .

build the abortion conference...."

NY 100-174481 °

"There were many members of the SWP and YSA at the
conference, and SWPers and YSAers are among those who -
have worked most consistently for abortion repeal and to

NY T-5 advised on November 12, 1971, that a NY.
Planning Meeting of WONAAC was held at LOEB Student Center,
NY University, NY, on November 11, 1971, to lay plans :
for a scheduled November 20, 1971 demonstration in Washington,
DC. According to this source, this meeting was completely
dominated and controlled by members of the SWP.. Loe

NY T- 6 related on November 16, 1971, that the Upper’
West Side Branch of the YSA planned to send a contingent
of its members to Washington, DC, on November 20, 1971,
in order to participate in the planned demonstration there
on. that date.

NY T-6 stated that practically all the members of the
uptown branch of the YSA, NY, were expected to participate
in this activity.

NY T-5 related on January 20, 1972, that the scheduled
November 20, 1971 march in Washington was "crucial" to
all SWP and YSA branches in that it afforded an opportunity
for selling of "The Militant" and other SWP/YSA literature,
and also afforded an opportunity for "intervening " in the
action via distribution of SWP Election Campaign literature.

NY T-8 on February 11, 1972, and NY T-9 and NY T-10
on February 14, 1972, provided information that a WONAAC
convention was held February 11, 1972, to February 13, 1972,
at Hayden Hall, Boston University, Boston, Massachusetts.

The general theme of this convention was "How to Win
Abortion Law Repeal". NY T-8 stated that approximately

30 members of the YSA or SWP Boston Chapters were observed.
in attendance at this convention.

NY T-7 related on February 14, 1972, that because of the
de-escalation of the Vietnam War by the NIXON Administration,
the YSA-New York Local (NYL), while continuing on with
anti-war work through the NY Student Mobilization


NW 88321 Docld:32989546 Page 296

NY 100-174481

Committee (SMC) and NY National Peace Action Coalition
(NPAC), both of which organizations they dominate, would
also concentrate in the area of the Women's Liberation
Movement through their influence in WONAAC,

The SMC is controlled by the

SWP and its youth affiliate,
YSA. SMC initiates and supports
public demonstrations against
the war in Southeast Asia.

NPAC was founded in 1970 by
members of the SWP. Its objec-
tive is the immediate, total
and unconditional withdrawal |
of all US forces and material
in Southeast Asia.

NY T-7 advised on various dates, March 23, 1972,
through October 17, 1972, that activities of WONAAC were
dutifully reported and included on the agenda at regular
meetings of the Upper West Side Branch, YSA~New York Local
(NYL) during that period.

NY T-5 advised on April 18, 1972, that the leader-
ship of WONAAC was then dominated by the SWP..

NY T-7 related on July 7, 1972, that at a WONAAC
meeting held June 27, 1972, at 706 Broadway, NYC, NY,
starting at 6:40 PM, it was announced that even though
VIOWAAC previously had accused various female activists
working along with them in the Women's Liberation struggle
of red baiting because of the stand they had taken against
the SWP-Young Socialist Alliance (YSA), at present they
are forced to work with these individuals to help strengthen
the WONAAC cause, _

At this meeting, certain WONAAC staff members
walked out and voiced their disapproval of the meeting
being taken over by a majority of SWP-YSA members.

They indicated that the SWP-YSA has no right to be in a
policy-making position in WONAAC.

NY 100-174481 -

NY T-7 on:-July 18, 1972, and NY T-11 on July 19,
1972, provided information that a WONAAC conference was
held at Hunter College, Park Avenue and 69th Street on
July 15, 1972 and July 16, 1972.

NY T-7 stated that NYC was picked as the site of
this convention because this city is considered to be
the center of the most powerful anti-abortion effort so‘far.

Discussions®©14 at this conference centered on
plans for (one)-future activity in the campaign to repeal
all anti-abortion and contraception laws and (two)-to
end forced sterilization.

A discussion was held concerning the attacks
being made by the Catholic Church Hierarchy and other
anti-abortion groups against women's rights to their own
bodies.

NY T-11 related that the evening plenary session
of WONAAC occurred on July 15, 1972, and it was immediately
apparent that the SWP-YSA groups dominated the meeting.
Independent women who wanted to make statements during
this session were voted down by SWP floor leaders and
these same persons continued to vote as a block on all
issues.

The group of independent women from various
geographic areas, that is, those women who were not
associated with the SWP or YSA, went together after the
plenary session was adjourned and considered the problem
of how to handle the SWP leaders. While these women
were not political realists in their goals, they did
believe in working throughout the existing system rather
than functioning with the SWP in their eventual goal of
revolution.

It was decided that the independent feminists
would no Longer continue hassling within WONAAC. They
did not want to have decisions for them being structured
by a male dominated group. They also decided that_mreney
being collected by WONAAC in the name of abortion law

change was not being used for that purpose, but rather
to sustain members of the SWP-YSA.

The Sunday morning session, July 16, 1972, was
labeled "Meeting to Discuss Internal Hassles." About 35
independents attended and a few number of SWP-YSA members.
and sympathizers were present. Independents there were
from New Haven, Boston, Detroit, New York (NY), Chicago,
Philadelphia, and San Francisco.

The independents did not waiver in their firm
opposition to SWP-YSA control of WONAAC. Six national —
coordinators of WONAAC were independents and decided to
resign publicly at the afternoon plenary session. ‘They
also decided to combat SWP control of the feminist move-
ment through the various publications.

Oni The six national coordinators who-#esigned were
} JUDY, ooun San Frangisco; ANN C,ADAVIDSON , Philadelphia;
Y ROsEX WEBER, NV; VICKY, ESLINGER, Columbia, South Carolina;
Tan foue 3 NY; and “EL ENASHAPIRO, NY NY.

There were approximately 700-800 women in atten~
dance at the afternoon session. According to one of the
SWP leaders, these women were from 31 states and three
countries-Canada, Italy and Sweden. The states that .had
more representation than others were Ohio, Illinois, New
York and Massachusetts.

Most of the problems and differences between the
independents and the SWP centered around approaches to
abortion law reform. The SWP was charged with always
having demonstrations and rallies and never doing any
work through the legislative process.

The independents stated that they were tired of
this hassle and that they believed there were more ef~
fective ways to change abortion laws than carrying placards
in the streets.

After the independent women publicly resigned in
front of the plenary session, two other,coordinators announced
they were staying jon. One was BARBARAAROBERTS, the other's
name is unknown. AY

woos CF SURIIOT Choon Mei OF SYLIECT ChaAMI ZATION

aA LINDANWIENNESS made a final pléa For the indepen-
dent women to-reconsider. The removal of the independents ~-
from WONAAC has debilitated the organization and most
independent representatives will be going back to their
own cities to work for abortion law change in organizations
which have no connection with the SWP.

The concern still exists, however, that WONAAC will
be able to collect monies in the name of abortion reform
and there is also the concern that women new to the move-
ment will join in a mistaken notion that they will be
furthering abortion law reform.

Independents vowed before leaving NY that they
would try to publicize activities from the SWP in an
effort to prevent this.

IIT. OBSERVATION OF CURRENT NATIONAL
STAFF MEMBER REGARDING YSA/SWP INFLUENCE

When contacted under pretext on November 24,
1972, CAROL EATON, self-identified as a current National
Staff member, and previously mentioned in this report,
related that she has been active in WONAAC since its
inception. EATON, while 2V°'T199 she is definitely not a
YSA, SWP, or member of any "radical group", acknowledged
there always have been SWP, YSA and "radical" elements
in WONAAC. She went on to state, however, that WONAAC
has never allied itself politically with any organization
or individual, including any of the political candidates
in the recent political election and, despite its diverse
makeup as too ideaological beliefs of its membership,
WONAAC is basically an organization which strives only
to the objectives for which it was originally founded.
To this end, she went on, WONAAC would accept help from
whatever source offered.

NW 88321 Docld:32989546 Page 299

a


Find
’

Ny i00-174481

EATON admitted there were some problems in
the past with regard to friction within WONAAC about SWP
and YSA influence. She stated, however, this matter, to
her observation, never seemed a serious one, and is quite
minimal today. With regard to the "walk out” of six
national coordinators at the July, 1972 conference in NYC,
she stated the walk out did not occur, in fact, because
of the SWP/YSA influence question, but rather because
those who walked out believed WONAAC should be a "referral
agency", while those who stayed felt it should not. By
referral agency, EATON stated she means an agency which would refer
callers to a specific location or place where abortions
could be obtained.

IV. PLANNED PROJECTS

CAROL EATON advised that WONAAC plans an inter-
national Tribunal march to be held in NYC, NY, from March 9, .
1972, to March 11, 1972. She stated plans have not yet been
finalized, including the exact location or inane event cine.
will take place. However, she noted that SIMONEXBEAUVOIR, —
a Parisian, well known in the Women's Liberaticn Movement, i
would be honorary chairwoman.

Referenced letter stated that a flier was passed
out at an antiwar rally in Philadelphia on 10/26/72 revealing
that the WONBAC had moved to offices located on the third
floor at Houston Hall, University of Pennsylvania,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and that the telephone service
for this office was subscribed to by the University of
Pennsylvania.

In regard to your request to continue attempts
to develop information regarding WONAAC, an organization
dominated and controlled by the Socialist Workers Party
(swe), considering it now utilizes offices at the University
of Pennsylvania, you are authorized to continue your
investigation. You should, however, restrict your
investigation to determining the degree of infiltration
and domination of this organization by SWP or its youth
arm, the Young Socialist Alliance (YSA). This investigation
must be conducted in a most Giscreet manner and limited
to established sources. Ho action is to be taken by you
which could in any way be construed as infringement by the
FBZ on academic freedom at the University of Pennsylvania.

It is noted by the Bureau that the above
information was received by your office on 10/26/72, however,
your request was not submitted to the Bureau until 1/31/73,

a period in excess of 90:days. Although it is recognized
there may be other matters requiring more immediate attention,
the delay in this instance appears unreasonabie. In the

future, insure that these matters are handled on a more
timely basis. a

as a leader of "Choisir," a French abortion rights organization;
MICHELE CHEVALIER, described as a defendent in a French abortion

ABORTION ACTION COALITION (BOWAAC }

BOWAAC, the local affiliate of the
Women's National Abortion Action
Coalition (WONAAC), was formed out
of the local Female Liberation group;
and while BOWAAC is not exclusively
made up of Socialist Workers Party
(SWP), Boston, and Young Socialist
Alliance of Boston (YSA-B) female
members, it is controlled by members
of those groups.

WONAAC has been publicly described
as an organization of groups whose
aim is to effect the overthrow of
existing abortion laws and to demand
free abortion on demand.

fhe SWP, Boston, is the local affiliate
and follows the aims and purposes of
the national SWP.

The SWP has been designated pursuant
to Executive Order 10450,

The YSA-B is the Boston affiliate
of the YSA, the youth organization
of the SWP.

B. Membership and SWP and YSA Infiltration

BOWAAC is not a formal membership-type group.
There are, however, currently a limited number of activists,
@ maximum of fifteen, the majority of whom are members of
the SWP and/or YSA in the Boston area, involved in BOWAAC
work. The number of activists is currently limited as
a number of the formerly active independents in the group
have recently dropped out of BOWAAC work Feeling that
the United States Supreme Court decision reluxing legal
restraints on the practice of abortion has resolved the
abortion problems.

MISCELLANEOUS - INFORMATION CQICERNING
(00: NY)

Re New York letter to the Bureau, 6/6/72; Bureau 0-7
» 7/12/72; and Philadelphia letter to the Bureau,

As outlined in referenced New York letter, the /* at {-
New York Office noted, as far back as June, 1972, it 7
recognized that, although several leaders of WONAAC were
known to be SWP members, their activities, as pertaining to
“IONAAC, had been directed towrd the legal repeal of all
restrictive abortion laws, and investigation had disclosed

no indication that WONAAC, as an organization, had engaged in
any subversive or vidlence prone activity.

Referenced Bureau 0-7, referencing the aforementioned

communication, nevertheless instructed that the New York Office,
as office of origin, had overall responsibility for captioned
organization, and directed the New York Office to reopen its

case and submit semi-annual reports.

A review of the results of the continuing investigation

of WONAAC, together with all indices and references pertaining
thereto, since June 1972, reflects no apparent change in the
activities or the organization @ its membership from that
outlined above.

The New York Office is in accord with the view of the

Philadelphia Division, as set forth in its referenced letter,
that WONAAC represents basically a social change vehicle which,
despite disparate political views of its leaders and membership,

In view of instructions set forth in Rureau

Bureau reiterated its policy that the FBI has no interest
in individuals and organizations involved in legitimate
dissent and the recent United States Supreme Court decision
upholding the right to abortion, it appears continuéd
investigation of WONASC as such is not justified.

“he New York Office further concurs with the
Philadelphia view that continued investigation of the SWP
and/or YSA would produce the desired cove-age and information
concerning its members who are associated or active in WONAAC,

UACB, the New York Office is closing the investigation
of this organization.

The Women's National Abortion Action Conlition (WONAAC)

has been the subject of a separate investigation by. the Bureau

in numerous offices, In referenced letter, Philadelphia pointed

out that WONAAC represents a basic social change dealing with

Court upheld the right of abortion, the continued investigation
of WONAAC at this time does not anpear ta be desirabie and
should be discontinued, Philadelphia alse suggested that
continued investigation of the Secialist Werkers Party (SWP)
and its youth group, the Young Secialist Alliance (YSA), shouid

determine pertinent activities of WONAAC.

After careful consideration of this atter, the Bureau
agrees with the observations of the Philadelphia Office that the
Hewever, in view
of the fact that WONAAC is dominated and controlled by the SWP, a
Trotskyist communist organization cited by the Attorney General
pursuant. to Executive Order 10450, it is the responsibility of the
Bureau to investigate and report pertinent information relating

Re Philadelphia letter to Bureau dated 1/31/73
and Bureau letter to Philadelphia dated 2/12/73.

For the information of New York, referenced Bureau
letter to Philadelphia dated 2/12/73 authorized a continued —
investigation of WONAAC utilizing only established sources,

‘~. The Bureau further advised that the investigation was to be.
conducted in a most discreet manner and that no action was

to be taken which could in any way be construed as infringemént
by the FBI on academic freedom at the University of Pennsylvdnia,

The case file of captioned organization has beén~
.', reviewed as well as all indices references to captioned
; | organization and it has been determined that while some o
| ° the individuals associated with WONAAC in the Philadelphia
area are also known to be affiliated with the Socialist
7 Workers Party (SWP) and for the Young Socialist Alliance \
(YSA), the majority of WONAAC supporters appear to be |
- individuals interested a social change rather than revolu-
tionary political changa0 js S

In view of the fact BEG WONAAC represents basically
a social change vehicle dealing with the single issue of
abortion rights and the fact that a recent U. S. Supreme
Court decision upheld the right to abortion, thereby reducing
the political value of this issue, it would appear that a
ragortined investigation of WONAAC at this time is not
“desirable.

information in the past, on March 10, 1971 made available
a four page folder captioned, "Women's National March On
The Pentagon April 10," sub-captioned, “defend the right:to

This folder reflected women's disagreement with
the Nixon administration's policy in regards to Indochina,
and states, in part, as follows:

"Our sisters in Vietnam have stretched forth a hand
tous. They are our example, We answer them with our strength
together, Women are marching against the Pentagoh on April
10. With dignity and rage we march against the American
Medical Association and its health system that cares nothing
about the health of the people. We march against the
partnership between police and organized crime, whicn makes
heroin a big business----- silently endorsed by those who
‘govern us!, We march against politicians, hustlers and
kickback men, whose corruption and crimes are paid for by the
people. We march against the injust court system, and for the
freeing of all political prisores."

information regarding transportation and child care could
be obtained from the "New York Office."

"Grant's Tomb", a community newspaper, upper west

‘Washington! This article reflected, in part, as follows:

"Out of the outrage against the war that was the unifying

force of the Ann Arbor conference, the women's cxucus decided

to channel our frustration into a public statement calling for

@ women's march on Washington, D.C, on April 10. We ali felt

the urgency to show how we as women feel oppressed by the same

U.S. system that needs the dominance of men over women, white

over black, brown and, yellow,heterosexual over homosexual, and

over poor to support the aggressive war policy that is killing

or Vietnamese sisters and brothers,------

"We are making this march one step in showing the
world our solidarity. as women with all our sisters in Vietnam
who are fighting for their lives. The Committee to Defend the
Right to Live, a South Vietnamese women's organization, has
called for our support," . .

The confidential source mentioned above on March

Women's National March
on the Pentagon, April 10, 1971

Reference is made to New York memorandum
dated March 16, 1971.

On March 24, 1971, a source, who has furnished
reliable information in the past, advised that on March 22,
1971, a "Committee for April 10" held a meeting at the Law
Commune Office, 640 Broadway, New York City (NYC), which
was attended by 30 to 40 females. It was learned that a
woman from the New York (NY) group was already in Washington,
D.C, working with others there to arrange permits, speakers,
et cetera, for the women&’ march on the Pentagon on April 10,
1971. It was stated that it was easier to obtain a permit
for a march from the Justice Department to the Pentagon,
than from the Pentagon to the Justice Department, but that
no permit had been obtained as yet, It was pointed out that
a march from the Pentagon to the Justice Department was
preferred as there would be less chance of losing marchers
en route to the Justice Department than from marching
from the Justice Department to the Pentagon, It was stated
that no buses had been chartered at NY, but i$ was hoped that
15 buses would be needed,

Law Commune

On September 16, 1969, a second source, who

has furnished reliable information in the

past, advised that the Law Commune is not an

organization in the usual serse of the word.

It is rather a law firm comprised of 4 group

of lawyers interested and sympathetic to the

New Left and Black Power organizations, and who

counsel and defend individuals in these groups

as the occasion arises. They likewise permit

their premises to be used on occasion as a meeting
‘ place for these organizations and distribute

some of their literature,

On March 25, 1971, the second advised that as of
now there is much confusion over the mechanical aspects of
the Women's National March on April 10, 1971, and that the
people in Washington, D.C. will make the ultimate decision
regarding the route of the march. The source stated that
in NY, information concerning buses for Washington, D.C.
will be available at the Upper West Side Women's Center,
627 Amsterdam Avenue, NYC, telephone number 874-6696,

On March 24, 1971, the second source made available
a piece of literature sent out by the "April 10 Women's
Committee" concerning the national women's march on the
Pentagon on April 10. This literature contained in part as
follows:

"We are going to the Pentagon on April 10 to
serve notice on our enemies that women are moving against
them, Our urgency and our fury at the expansion of the
Indochinese war and our rage at the repression of our black
and brown sisters and brothers needs expression right now.
We are joining with other women to struggle for the everyday
things we need and against whatever and whoever prevents us
from getting them.

"We need and want our sisters around the country
to build for this action in their own ways, and to communicate
with other sisters their ideas, suggestions and criticisms,
This is a temporary contact list which came out of the Ann
Arbor Conference:

Women's National March
on the Pentagon, April 10, 1971

Reference is made to New York (NY) memorandum
dated March 26, 1971.

On March 30, 1971, a source, who has furnished
reliable information in the past, advised that on March
26, 1971, a "Committee for April 10" had a meeting at
the McIntosh Student Union, Barnard College, New York City
(NYC), to plan and organize for the Women's March on the
Pentagon on April 10, 1971. The meeting was attended by
30 individuals and had no chairman,

The source stated that at the above meeting, two
representatives,man and wife, from an "Action Committee"
on certain islands near Okinawa,planned a march on April
10, 1971 in Washington, D.C, to protest giving over to
Japan what they feel to be Chinese islands. This march is
to begin at 1:00 p.m. at the Washington Monument, up
Massachusetts Avenue to the State Department, and possibly
on to the Japanese Embassy. Support of the women's group
was requested; however, after the two left the meeting, the
"Committee for April 10" decided not to support the Chinese
march on the grounds that they were too "liberal."

The source advised that at the above meeting, it
was stated that no permit had been obtained as yet for the
Women's March on the Pentagon on April 10, 1971. It was
stated that the march will proceed from a "grassy spot" at the
Justice Department at noon, past the Bureau of Indian Affairs,
Department of the Interior, Department of Labor and 6n to
the Pentagon, An hour at each end of the march would be
allowed for speakers, though the group doubted they would use
it. Guerrilla theatre activity by participating groups in
front of the various government buildings was discussed and-
encouraged, though specifics were not mentioned,

The source stated that at the above meeting, copies
of a letter to Madame Binh, head of the Vietcong delegation
to the Paris peace talks and the North Vietnamese in Paris,
were passed out, describing the purpose of the April 10 march,
This letter is get forth as follows :

"March 25, 1971
"Dear Mme. Binh,

"On April 10, many of us American women will be
marching on the Pentagon. You know already of the other
actions being planned here against the war. As women, we
are coming out from separate cities and roles, trying to
create reality out of what we once held looked up in ow
imaginations. In marching on the Pentagon, we are joining with
all people inside and outside of Amerika, who fight against
Amerika 's attempt to control us.

"We've been conditioned so long to accept Amerika's
definition of us as weak, passive, and powerless, and to deny
all our feelings of love and strength, that it has been a
struggle for us to turn towards each other and fight for our
freedom,

"Your own long struggle in Indochina, and the struggle
of Third World people here at home, awakened us to the
destruction that Amerikan power represents all over the world.
Your many victories against that power have been an inspiration
to us, But it-wasn't until we joined together to examine and
share our own experiences as women in Amerika that we saw

"We are becoming women of the revolution, working
in our own way to stop the bombs from dropping in your land,
at the same time that we work to build day care centers, health
clinics, and a whole culture that will come from and respond
to the needs of all the people, not just the rich and the
powerful. The enormous anger and energy of sisters together
is a force that confuses and terrifies the rulers of Amerika,

"It's so incredibly hard for us to write what
we're feeling, to express to you and our Vietnamese sisters
and brothers the depth and strength of our love and solidarity.

STUDENTS FOR A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY

Students for a Democratic Society, commonly
known as SDS, came into existence at a founding convention
held during June, 1962, at Port Huron, Michigan. From an
initial posture of "participatory democracy," Marxist-
.Leninist ideology of various shadings became predominant
during 1968-1969 with debate centering on how best to create
a revolutionary youth movement. SDS moved from invoivement
in the civil rights struggle to an anti-Vietnam war position
to advocacy of a militant anti-imperialist line linking up
the oppressed peoples of Asia, Africa and Latin America
with the black liberation movement in the United States.
All major factions within SDS embrace Marxism-Lenism
and identify internationally with China, Cuba and North
Vietnam as countries leading the worldwide struggles
against the United States. However, the Soviet Union
was regarded as imperialist rnd with the Communist Party,
United States of America, "r:visionist" in nature.

SDS operated under a national constitution which
called for an annual Nationa’ Convention (NC) and quarterly
National Council meetings wherein programs were initiated
and debated. Three'national officers were elected annually
with a National Interim Committee to run the organization.
Regional offices and college chapters elected delegates to
the national meetings but each functioned independently on
local matters. Its official publicition "Fire" (formerly
"New Left Notes") last appeared in december, 1969.

Internal factionalism of serious proportions
developed during 1968 - 1969 and tie following three factions
evolved as a result of a split at the June, 1969, NC:
Weatherman, Worker Student Alliance (WSA), and Revolutionary
Youth Movement (RYM). The effect of the split on SDS chapters
throughout the country was divisive. Some aligned with one
or the other of the three major factions. Others, unable to
identify with any faction, disassociated with SDS completely
and changed names.

The SDS national office in recent years was
located at 1608 West Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois. It
was closed in February, 1970,

WEATHERMAN

we .. Initially called the "Action Faction,” Weatherman
po ; came into being immediately before the June, 1969, Students
for a bemocratic Society (SiS) Hational Convention (NC).
At this NC Weatherman won all three national officer positions
and a majority of the National Interim Committee as well.
Subsequently, they took over the SDS National Office (NO)
in Chicago, and controlled its funds, paper and national
records. Although internal struggle existed until late 1969,
Weatherman for all major purposes controlled SDS nationally
from June, 1969, until its WO closed in February, 1970. At
this time it no longer considered itself part of SDS.

The term Weatherman emerged from an ideological

of paper prepared by its leaders entitled "You Don't Weed a
eer” Weatherman to Know Which Way the Wind Blows" (“New Left

” Notes" June 18, 1969). This statement outlined the basic
stance of Weatherman: Marxist-Leninist in content but with
strong advocacy that action not theory would bring about
revolution in the United States. This posture was complemented
with an international identification to the Cuban revolution
and CASTRO's statement that the duty of a revolutionary is
to make revolution.

During October, 1969, Weatherman riots in
Chicago resulted in more than 260 arrests for mob action
and related charges. A program of armed struggle was
finalized during a December, 1969, “War Council” wherein
terrorist tactics and political assassination were
contemplated. The basic strength cf Weatherman was then
revealed to be some 300 - 350 nationally and geographically
apportioned to the Midwest, New York, and some Northwest.

. As its rhetoric of violence escalated, Weatherman
leaders increasingly discussed the necessity of an underground
operation wherein more than 90 percent of the organization
would be submerged; “affinity groups” of three ~ five members
would function independently. In February, 1970, Weatherman

“ leaders announced a program of "strategic sabotage" with
police and military installations as primary targets.

‘ .

throughouk the country ertersd an un lererounc status.

WORKER STUDENT ALLIANCE/
PROGRESSIVE LABOR PARTY

A source advised during August, 1969, that at
the National Convention (NC) of Students for a Democratic
Society (SDS) held in Chicago, [llinois, during June, 1969,
a split arose between the Progr2ssive Labor Party (PLP) and
the National Office (NO), the N) becoming known as the
Weatherman faction. The PLP fazstion drew the largest
support among those in attendanve at the NC.

Source further advisel that during late Summer,
1969, the PLP faction of SDS established its National
Headquarters (NH) on the second floor of a loft-type
building at 173A Massachusetts Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts.
The campaign on which the PLP faction centered was to build
a worker student alliance or a campus worker student
alliance. Thus, they adopted the names of Worker Student
Alliance (WSA) or Campus Worker Student Alliance.

Source stated that the "New Left Notes," printed
in New York City, is the official publication of the WSA
faction. .

A second source advis2d during January, 1970,
that within the SDS, the WSA is a caucus of which the PLP
constitutes the leadership.

A third source advisei during July, 1970, that
during demonstrations staged ir the Boston area during the
Spring and Summer of 1970 by th2 NH, the main theme of
previous demonstrations staged sy the NH shifted from
protestations of the Vietnam War and other United States
foreign policy matters to attac<ing domestic issues such
as racism and unemployment and jiemonstrating support of
the "workers' struggle."

Characterizations of the SDS
and PLP are set out ssparately.

REVOLUTIONARY YOUTH MOVEMENT .

A source advised that the Revolutionary Youth
Movement II (RYMII) faction of Students for a Democratic
Society (SDS) held a national conference at Atlanta, Georgia,
from November 26 to 30, 1969, At this conference it was
decided to form a new organization to be known as Revolutionary
Youth Movement (RYM), characterized as a mass anti-imperialist
youth organization, said organization being proposed as
separate and distinct in form and content from SDS. ‘The
"Principles of Unity" adopted by the conference included a
struggle against white supremacy and male supremacy; fights
against imperialism, anticommunism, fascism and oppression
of youth; and support of the right of self-determination of
all "oppressed nations," also support of the right of all
“oppressed and exploited" peoples "to armed self-defense."
It was agreed that RYM would not be a Marxist-Leninist
organization; however, source said this was decided in order
to indicate an organization broad enough in form to be
acceptable to everyone.. A temporary National Steering
Committee (NSC) made up of eight females and two males was
elected to govern RYM until national officers could be
elected during the Spring of 1970.

RYM publications have listed the RYM National Office
(NO) at Post Office Box 5421 and Post Office Box 77012 Cc,
both Atlanta, Georgia, and a second source has advised that
the NO has no office space but would probably be considered as
located at Apartment 27, 1067 Alta Avenue, Northeast, Atlanta.

Second source advised that women dominated the
founding conference and have contintled to dominate NSC
meetings to the point that "women's liberation" has apparently
become the RYM's principal issue ~- also that RYM's poor
financial condition has resulted in its failure to publish
a paper. During early 1970, RYM has decided to cater to
the working class rather than youth, since the potential for
social revolution lies in workers.

A third source has stated that it was decided at
the March, 1970, NSC meeting that RYM women had decided the
organization will be molded into a "working class, Marxist-
Leninist, revolutionary, anti-imperialist, problack
nationalist, people's women's liberation organization."

A characterization of the SDS
is set out separately.

PROGRESSIVE LABOR PARTY

The "New York Times" city edition Tuesday,
April 20, 1965, Page 27, reported that a new party of
"revolutionary socialism" was formally founded on April 18,
1965, under the name of the Progressive Labor Party (PLP),
which had been known as the Progressive Labor Movement,

According to the article, "The Progressive Labor
Movement was founded in 1962, by MILTON ROSEN and MORTIMER
SCHEER after they were expelled from the Communist Party of
the United States for assertedly following the Chinese
Communist line."

A source advised on June 3, 1968, that the PLP
held its Second National Convention in New York City, May 31,
to June 2, 1968, at which time the PLP reasserted its
objective of the establishment of a militant working class
movement based on Marxism-Leninism.

.

The source also advised that at the Second National
Convention, MILTON ROSEN was unanimously re-elected National
Chairman of the PLP and LEVI LAUB, FRED JEROME, JARED ISRAEL,
WILLIAM EPTON, JACOB ROSEN, JEFFREY GORDON and WALTER LINDER
were elected as the National Committee to lead the PLP until
the next convention,

The PLP publishes “Progressive Labor," a bimonthly
magazine, and "Challenge-Desafio," a monthly newspaper,

Source advised on May 25, 1970, that the PLP
utilizes an address of General Post Office Box 808, Brooklyn,
New York, and also utilizes an office in Room 617, 1 Union
Square West, New York, New York.

O-

Unless otherwise stated, all sources in
this memorandum have furnished reliable
information in the past,

On March 30, 1971, @ fist confidential source
furnished literature, concerning the Women's Bail Fund, which
was picked up at the Upper Westside Womens Center, 627
Amsterdam Avenue, New York, New York (NY) on March 27, 1971.
The literature captioned, “Women's Bail Fund" argued that the
Women's House of Detention, in New York City (NYC), should
not exist and that "the Women's House of Detention, along with the
prisons and jails across the country, is a weapon used by the
power structure here in America to oppress and exploit the people
of poor communities." It further relates that "Women have come
together in New York from many different organizations to form a
Women's Bail Fund for ail the sisters inside the House of
Deention. The Bail Fund is also working to prepare simple
pamphlets on law because of the total lack of any legal
resources in the House of Detention and secure legal assistance
where needed." The address is listed as the Women's Bail Fund,
P.O. Box 637, Cooper Station, NY, NY 10003.

on August 26, 1971, the first source furnished
literature on the Women's Bail Fund which stated, "The Women's
Bail Fund is a coalition of Third World and white women who are:

" .e..raising bail to release women prisoners from
Rikers Island,

",.establishing communication with women inside.

" ,..assisting women who are bailed out in meeting
their needs,

" ..eeproviding legal information for prisoners,
" ...making public the torture these women undergo.
" supporting prison struggles everywhere."

On April 12, 1971, a second confidential source

made available a flyer on the Women's Bail Fund which was
distributed at the National Womens March on the Pentagon on
April 10, 1971. The flyer, captioned, "Victory to the NLF and All
Oppressed Peoples" states "Women in vietnam and in the United
States are fighting for the right to live: for the very right
to exist.....the U.S. is now dotted with concentration camps for
the poor and non-white: the jails.....But imprisonment doesnt!
break the spirit of the sisters in jail. They resist! When denied
their dignity, they organize and fight back. When one sister is
beaten they organiz and resist, In the coldest part of winter
when the boilers had broken down, the women worked in freezing
temperatures in cold water to do the laundry-not ‘because the
pigs made us do it - but for our ‘own beautiful sisters.! .....We
Vietnamese, Black, Latin, White and Asian-american women are
united in our struggle - we share common goals and face a@ common
enemy. We express our complete solidarity with the NLF and ‘shall
work to bring the victory there."

On May 14, 1971, Special Agents (SAS) of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) observed a demonstration in front
of the NYC Women's House of Detention sponsored by the Women'!s
Bail Fund and Youth Against War and Fascism (YAWF). The
demonstrators chanted slogans calling for release of their
"sisters" from jail and expressed opposition to a proposed move
of the inmates of the Women's House of Detention from its
downtown site to the Rikers Island Prison Facility. The
demonstrators called this proposed move an attempt to isolate
the "sisters from their supporters."

By means of a loudspeaker, the demonstrators called to
several inmates of the House of Detention who appeared in the
upper storey windows, obtained their names and place of arrest,
This information allegedly was to be used to obtain bail for the
prisoners in question. Thereafter, several speakers denounced
the jails as concentration camps and called for the release of the
"nolitical prisoners."in the House of Detention. Among the
speakers was Shirley,Taylor of the Women's Bail Fund and 4
former inmate of thé Women's House of Detention,

The WWP was founded in 1959 by individuals who
disagreed with policies of the Socialist Workers
Party (SWP). The WWP dissidents advocated

unconditional support of the Soviet Unionanl the
building of a revolutionary party geared to the
overthrow of capitalism. More recently the WWP

has called for peaceful solutions to Sino-Soviet
disputes, however, the WWP generally supports the
People's Republic of China in its ideological
differences with the Soviet Union.

The SWP has been designated pursuant to
Executive Order 10450.

A third confidential source advised on May 18,
1971, the Women's Bail Fund has called for victory for the
Vietcong and is setting up a "phone chain" to be able to call
for "action against the transfer of women from the House of
Detention to Rikers Island,*

On June 6, 1971, the third source advised the Women's
Bail Fund will have a "major bail out of women" from the Women's
House of Detention from June 10 to June 13, 1971 a#& the Washington
Square Methodist Church, * Jt will include four
days of “discussions, films, counseling and information services"
for inmates and their families. The coordinator for the Bail
Fund was identified as Pam Engle, telephone number 989-6717.

on July 26, 1971, SAS of the FBI observed a picket-
type demonstration at 5ist Street and Avenue of the Americas
protesting the existence of all jails. Among the groups
represented was the Women's Bail Fund.

' Women’s Bail Fund

A first confidential source advised that Beverly Stemer,
Channel 13 News, 304 West __8th.Street, New. Yorks. New York
is affiliated with the Women's Bail Fund (WBF).

An article appeared in the March, 1972 issue of
the "Liberated Guardian" » captioned "Women's Bail Fund; ~
Organizing Our Anger", written by five unidentified members
of the Women's Bail Fund Collective.

The article relates "The Women's Bail Fund is a
group of about 35 women in New York City that bails women
out of jail (150 so far). They have been organized for over
a year and a half and did their first bailout on December 20,
1970, They have been active in supporting other groups
involved in the prison struggle. They do legal follow-up
for bailed-out sisters who want it and have been talking
with people about the prison struggle, why jails exist, who
the real enemies are, etcetmra,

The article is introduced by the following
statement:

"For this article we wanted to talk about ourselves.
So five of us volunteered to collect different thoughts from
as many women as possible in our group and then pooled these |
reflections in this article, using the words from their raps.’

The article, being reflections of the various
members of the group, is a series of quotes by unidentified
members concerning the WBF.

Women's Bail Fund

The following are reflections of some WBF
members carried under the subcaption “Our Roots - Why
We Started - Why We Joined".

"There was a woman in my consciousness-raising
group who was in the bail fund when it was first getting
started and she talked with others about it. To some of
us it was a very exciting idea. To others it was
frightening - connecting to political activity as women.
Ultimately it ended in a split of my small group on
whether we should carry our newly raised consciousness
to any sort of feminist political action or not.

"In the past, I was politically frustrated because
I was only involved in one-shot actions. I saw what was
happening in terms of how this system functions to oppress
black people and that resulted inalot of pain for me. I
felt I had to reflect my stands in a day-to-day struggle.
I had the sense that the women in the WBF were also aware
of that need.

"When sisters want us to, we go to court with them.
When I go to court I find that it can do bad things to my
head. I make judgements like this jude is better than another
one, but it's all shit. All judges are pigs. Or like
feeling good that a sister got six months instead of five
years when she shouldn't have gotten anything at all.

"IT was in the House of Detention when there was the
bail fund demonstration on December 20, 1970. The whole
tier was so excited. When someone saw the first people she
let out a scream and everyone rushed to the windows. As
the chanting increased outside we started to sing and chant.
They locked us in our cells so each person would be isolated
and intimidated about chanting, But all the women kept it
up. Everyone inside said the feeling about this demonstration
was different than other demonstrations. There had been more
contact. The women saw Afeni and Joan and another woman
that they had known inside outside in the demonstration.
That was real important,

"A lot of it was the bail fund. The bail fund
banner with the address made it real that people were serious
about supporting people inside. It wasn't going to be a
one+shot deal,

Women's Bail Fund

The following are reflections carried junder the
sub-caption “Questions We Are Facing Right Now",

"There's a real dialectic between reform ad

revolution. So much of what we do is short-term support
stuff that can be seen as reformist. When prisoners raise
these demands it's understood to be revolutionary; when
people on the outside raise them, they are felt to be
reformist. I have done a whole lot of courtroom work,
both in the bail fund and before too. In fact, the whole
social work thing is what I come out of, which is why it
is so hard for me to deal with all this (‘cause I obviously
reflect a lot of that work). Social work when it started
back in the late 1800's and early 1900's came out of real
radical circles, the radicals and feminists and such. And
when you read MAO, he talks about service to the people
as a revolutionary thing. But for us it feels weird
because it has been co-opted. I think that the movement
now, trying to recoup the revolutionary aspects, that
original sense of service to the people, trying to help
people survive.

© CONFIDENTIAL &

"One of the ways to really keep ourselves -
out of the rut of being social workers is to engage in
more political education among ourselves and to ask other
groups how they’ve dealt with this question. Also we
should be more involved in educating other people.

"We should be doing more for women inside. We
need to really work on facilitating communications
between the sisters inside the jail. Women prisoners .
have been slower to get organized but I'm sure this is
because there is so much isolation in the women's jail.
Concretely, we need to write more letters to find out what
is going on, send literature, but also tell the women about
each other, about what other women are thinking and feeling.
This would stop the sense of isolation and increase the
sense of solidarity. ;

"I think much of the movement is guilty of
ultra-leftism. In China the Communists worked on a lot
of things that were a lot less than what they ultimately
wanted. We're too afraid of being contaminated by being
involved in reform movements. We too often define our
enemies too broadly and our allies too narrowly.

"I've been real impressed with what women in the
group are willing to commit themselves to do and that they
fulfill those commitments. And that atmosphere of res-
ponsibility affects new members too. This is real
important. It helps me through the rough times and all
the ideological hassles and struggles we go through.

You really have a sense that everyone really wants to work
things through, search for solutions, wants to hold
together because we feel responsible for the work. “Even
the way people ask for leaves of absence when they are
sick or too busy, that they feel they want to explain

why they have to stop doing work for a while, shows
people's commitment and responsibility."

_The “Liberated Guardian" was created in

| April, 1970, through active and violent
dissent against the politics and policies

of the "Guardian", Its major aims were

to produce a "more revolutionary" paper,

to operate collectively within it and to
maintain by design a loose political position.

The “Guardian” is self-described as an
“independent radical newsweekly" which
takes a strong left position but is not
identified with any organized group. It
is considered to be the largest radical
weekly in America,

A second confidential source advised an account
for the WBF was opened on July 6, 1971, for $3,500. The
account was closed ten days later on July 16, 1971. This
account was opened by PatriciavReiner of 2451 Aldrich —

Judith Ann Clark is a member of the
Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) -

arrest wanted for unlawful flight to avoid
prosecution - mob action. Clark was
indicted by a Federal Grand Jury at
Chicago, Illinois in April, 1970, prior

to her arrest. She was sentenced to

three years, for which she spent nine

Illinois, and was released in July, 1971,
to serve the remaining time on probation
in New York City. :

Jennifer Ellen Dohrn is the sister of
FBI Top Ten Fugitive Bernadine Rae Dohrn.
Both sisters are alleged members of

SDS was founded during June, 1962, at

Port Huron, Michigan, and in the 1960's
functioned as the leading New Left campus-

States, From a stance of "participatory
democracy," the SDS moved to a radical-
revolutionary position. It maintained a

On April 14, 1972, a fifth confidential source
advised that Judith Clark was in touch on April 3, 1972,
with a Beth Last Name Unknown (LNU), at 466 East 48th

The source advised that Clark, on November 5,
1972, was in touch with an unknown female and discussed
the Wednesday night meeting of the WBF. Clark discussed
the fact that Jeannie LNU, Estelle LNU and Laurie LNU
would be at the meeting at 5:30 PM, that evening at Clark's
residence. The source related that Sara LNU and Naomi LNU,
both from the Defense Bail Fund, were also expected at
the meeting. Clark discussed the fact that the WBF
has no common politics and no common political direction
at this point and the WBF could become a defense committee,
not because it would be desireable, but because of a lack
of any other direction.

The source\advised that.on the same day, Clark

was in touch with Lobenstine, from the WBF at telephone
number 663-1136, an th agreed to attend an education
meeting of the Fund. - 4

Re New York airtel and LHM, 8/28/72, and captioned
as above.
on 11/28/72, wy 7615-S) advised the Women's Bail Fund
(WBF) is not a leading 'eTémént™and lacks any influence in the
movement in New York City.

A review of the subject file discloses there is no
structure to the WBF and that it is a coalition of women who
belong to various groups in the New York City area, whose main
purpose is to raise funds for selected women in jail.

It is noted that Weatherman subjects have contacted
those involved in the bail fund. However, have decryed the
lack of political direction of the WBF and would like to turn
it into a defense committee because of a lack of any other
direction, There is no indication that this has occurred, and . -
the bail fund still remains a loose coalition of like-mindea /|
individuals from various groups seeking to raise funds for. 0
various purposes. Because of its lack of common political dir-- *.
ection, it has had no influence and presently is ineffective in’
the movement.

In view of the above, the NYO is discontinuing investi-
gation in this matter to be reopened upon receipt of pertinent
information from sources that the bail fund is being redirected
as a structured group for a common political and ideological
purpose.

Boston file 100-38735 entitled VEVAN PATCHEN
DELLINGER, aka PATCH DELLINGER; SM - ANARCHIST (BUFILE
100-450988)" reflected that DELLINGER was subject of
Boston investigation based on his participation in a
"Teach-In" and Rededication Service on 1/29/68 at the
Arlington St. Church, Boston. During the above activity,
DELLINGER made a statement in support of the "Resistance
Group" and turned in what was reported to be Selective
Service cards.

The primary function of the Resistance Group
was to aid, abet, and counsel young men faced with the.
draft, :

EVAN PATCHEN DELLINGER graduated from Swarthmore
College, Swarthmore, Pa., on 6/6/66 majoring in economics,
He was arrested at Chester, Pa. on 4/1/64 and was charged
with disorderly conduct.

The 1968-59 Harvard University Directory of
Officers and Students reflected that DELLINGER was enrolled
in the School of Medicine, Harvard University, Cambridge,
Mass,

Tt had been reported that PATCH DELLINGER was
present at a Socialist Workers Party (SWP) Street Meeting
in New York City on 7/21/64. .

The file further disclosed that inasmuch as the
Boston office had no current information associating BELLIN-
GER with the SWP or the Young Socialist Alliancé and that
his activities on behalf of the New England Resistance were
pacifist in nature, it was felt that DELLINGER did not
warrant inclusion on the Security or Agitator Indexes main-
tained at that time;and thus, the case was placed in a closed
status.

A xeview of Boston file 25-25585 (Bufile 25-569484)
reflected that DELLINGER was also subject of investigation
based on his participation in the previously mentioned
Rededication Services at the Arlington St. Church in Boston
on 1/29/68 at which 23 individuals turned in either a
Notice of Classification and/or a Registration Certificate.
Two other individuals turned in some other type of document.
It was determined that DELLINGER had turned in a Selective
Service Registration Certificate and two Notices of Classi-
fication issued by LB #28, Flemington, New Jersey. Also,

a two-page statement signed PATCHEN DELLINGER supporting
the Resistance mevement was turned in.

In April, 1972, AUSA, Boston declined any prosecu-.
tion concerning DELLINGER,

On 8/21/72, personnel of the Office of the Mass.
Commissioner of Probation, Suffolk County Courthouse, Boston,
a central repository for all traffic and criminal conviction
records within the Commonwealth of Mass., advised that their
files contain no record identifiable with CHARLES WELCH,

On July 7, 1972, WF T-6 advised that the Sojourner
Truth Press in Atlanta, Georgia, was a printing press for

Left" organizations, yet it espouses no opinions of its own.
As long as their fee is met, they will print what is

and-purposes the "Furies" organization and collective have
ceased to function. There are no plans to publish another

that would be considered revolutionary or subversive.

1972, and did not espouse a radical revolutionary line.

in view of the above, this case is being closed.
WFO will remain alert for information regarding any vossible

future activity on the part of the “Furies", and will repyrt
